      The republicans I suppose. If I recall correctly they were against Obama appointing a judge before the end of his term for some reason while very supportive of Trump appointing judges before his term ended

      Every single non-voter in the country willingly allowed the Republicans to fuck everyone over.

      Edit: Going back decades, obviously. The latest election has nothing to do with the current SCOTUS. And sure, it’s not the American non-voters’ fault they’re brain dead consumers with no will of their own. It’s all very sad, blah blah blah.

        One way or another, any government which remains in power is a representative government. If your city government is a crooked machine, then it is because you and your neighbors prefer it that way - prefer it to the effort of running your own affairs.

        Hitler’s government was a popular government; the vast majority of Germans preferred the rule of gangsters to the effort of thinking and doing for themselves. They abdicated their franchise.

        —Robert A. Heinlein, Take Back Your Government
