Thank fooking christ. Ever since the NYT raised the alarm bells about this being the next big awful decision during the Roe v. Wade overturn, its been in the back of my mind. Glad to see we're not taking another step away from direct democracy.
Don't you mean democracy?
Direct democracy means no elected representative. The US system is representative democracy instead.
There hasn't been direct democracy for decades. Every major party candidate for federal office has absolute allegiance to the ruling plutocrats. You literally cannot vote against the interests of Goldman Sachs and the oligarchs.
There hasn't been direct democracy in the USA, ever.
We are not a direct democracy.
Yep, today was a good day somehow. 🤷♂️
