The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission are unconstitutional and overturned a 90-year-old decision that allowed Congress to shield members of certain independent agencies from being fired by the president at will.
The decision from the high court expands the president’s power over many independent boards and commissions, which Congress had insulated from political pressure by saying their members could only be removed by the president for cause.
That’s where you’re at? Blaming people who are fed up with the US’ god-awful system? Mad that they didn’t vote for the same party that enables this crap?
Up here in Canada, we have a progressive option and I am so fucking mad that people refused to vote for them. This “enable the conservatives masquerading as the center” thing is old and tired, and I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’ve never fallen for it, and I’m so disappointed in people that tell me that it’s my fault despite being one of the few people actually doing the right thing.
I will never blame people for sending a message and doing their best to use what little voice they have. The Democrats couldn’t even beat Trump and all they had to do was admit to one of the most obvious genocides in history. The people who refused to vote for them are well aware of what happened, and as far as I’m concerned their names are clean.
Be mad at tens of millions of people who actively and cheerfully voted for Trump. Be mad at the “moderates” who tell everyone to suck it up and vote slightly-less-conservative but who will never make any effort to make a progressive compromise. Don’t be mad at the people who didn’t want their name marked under “actively supporting a genocide”. It’s not their fault the US is a flaming shithole that deserves nothing less than to be thrown into the fucking sun.
Go after the people actively causing the damage or go find a tall bridge over fast moving water.
You’re wasting your breath. Ppl like OP bitch and scream about ppl abstaining but a Trump was going to happen eventually because the system is inherently flawed and Democrats wanted to keep it that way. You literally have leader of the Democratic caucus mad that voters are voting in more leftist candidates.
Like you said it’s not a failure of the voters, it’s a failure of the party
It is a failure of voters, too, but it’s a failure of the Republican voters and the “centrists” who fight hard to make sure that nothing ever gets done.
