we didn’t decide anything, the mechanism the elite put into our government to prevent true democracy once again worked for them and against us. Just like the Citizen’s United case.

Abort the Supreme Court

Judical branch is in place to protect the rights of the few and Constitution so it plays a role. The issue is that the justices defend the powerful rather then thepeoples.

I know the marketing spiel, but I’m talking about how it actually historically functions. In the fine print ‘the rights of the few’ = ‘existing rich people / old money’

Especially since the supreme court never sides with the few when it has the opportunity to grow a spine. Ie: “Jim Crow”, “slavery”“, internment camps”, etc
