Yesterday they made higher education less accessible to non-whites, today they made it harder for the poor...
I wonder if there's a pattern here.

Fuck Trump and his supreme court. We're going to be suffering the effects of Republican stupidity for the next 40 years.
It’s Republican moral bankruptcy and cruelty that we will all suffer. If anyone’s stupidity got us here, it’s the Democratic Party’s stupid leadership since AT LEAST 2000, if not earlier. Republicans have telegraphed their intentions for 50 fuckin years and Democrats continued over and over to attempt reaching across the aisle, trying to pass bipartisan wins, “take the high road,” … all the while the Republican party continued putting their racist, xenophobic, mysoginistic, jingoistic, classist platform out year after year, abandoning all sense of decorum and norms, gerrymandering the fuck out of every district possible, blocking every bill that helps anyone aside from billionaires and corporations, and generally lying and cheating their way to what we have today.
since AT LEAST 2000
Democrats: It's just a coincidence that two lawyers who worked on the Supreme Court case that handed Bush the election in 2000 happen to be Supreme Court Justices today!
I think, if there's independent historians in the future looking back, they'll be mentioned in the same sentence as Neville Chamberlain often.
If you need any reason not to believe in god, it's that Trump got to appoint THREE FUCKING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES

Unless the dems take back court we would be all living through a nightmare.
Maybe Hilldawg could have campaigned in Wisconsin or taken seriously that even if she won the popular vote, that the Electoral College actually mattered.
Reminder, she did win the popular vote. The majority did vote for her.
Or maybe Obama could have kept his campaign promise that codifying Roe vs. Wade in law was his first order of business.
This has been the Democrat strategy for a long time now: make wonderful promises they don't intend to keep, then blame everyone else when they don't come to fruition. People keep voting for them despite this obvious fact, because Republicans make terrible promises that they actually try to keep.
We're damned if we do and damned if we don't. The only winning move is to ~~not play~~ flip the table and play a different game.

Vote! Encourage those around you to vote. Help drive someone to the polls. If you know a young person who's never voted, get them to vote.
Don't care who they vote for, just get them to the ballot box.
The more people vote, the better things turn out for the majority.

Wow. The SCOTUS is firing through all sorts of shitty changes this week. They’re like the koolaid man on meth.
Dont forget to thank RBG, who refused to retire under Obama for some fucking reason, only to get owned by COVID after officiating a wedding for some dumb liberals (while having an immune system shredded by cancer)
Well it gave us the funniest trump interview imo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knlJWu815C0
If there is a minimum age in government, there needs to be a maximum. I'm over these 70 year olds running things.
Downvoted by people who refuse to look at when Democrats make stupid decisions that fuck us.
I thought Lemmy was supposed to be full of tankies, not milquetoast centrist capitalist apologists....

My "favorite" part of the majority ruling is how the loan forgiveness was struck down because it would harm the loan servicers. Not the government, not the people, the companies that have been contracted to collect the loans. That's who SCOTUS is most concerned with. Should tell us everything we need to know about who's interests are most important - capitalists
Not only did they admit that MOHELA didn't have standing, MOHELA itself said this wouldn't impact them and they didn't ask to be part of the case.
Funny how it turns out that standing doesn't matter when they don't want it to.
Kinda similar to the other case they dropped this morning, allowing LGBT discrimination... despite the fact that it turns out that no gay person ever actually asked this bakery to make them a cake for their wedding. When contacted, the man who purportedly sent the email claimed he never sent it and has been married to a woman for years. They don't even give a shit if it's made up they will sign off on it.
How many were paid off by the student loan companies.
I was under the impression the student loan companies did not care. They were getting paid regardless.

Who here still thinks republicans should be allowed to vote and hold elected office and write and pass laws?
Show of hands?
Great, everyone who raised their hand deserves this shit. Everyone wants to hate on Republicans, but when it comes to the voting booth, everyone defends them to the death. Well this is what you get. But DeMoCrAcY is more important than anything and everything, right?
