(26 posts)I think the ultimate lesson here is we must fight hard and win every single vote possible with as large margins as possible.
The ruling was made possible because past republican presidents were able to appoint corrupt biased political hacks who masquerade as judges.
It was also made possible because of "Jeb!" helping his brother.
Imagine if we had a more fair supreme court? Imagine if "Jeb!" wasn't running elections?
The solution is we must fight like hell to win every single vote we can and kick out all the Republicans in our government and fill every seat with Democrats who will fight for us and represent the people.
I really urge people to start showing up for their local Democrats meetings and volunteer to knock on doors. It can make a difference. Some elections are decided by just a single digit number of votes or a small double digit number. You could be that grain of rice that tips the scales. Moreover urge everyone you can who's likeminded to vote in every election and every primary. It's your right as an American and the best way to preserve your rights is to exercise them as much as possible!
