With RBGs death it seems like the discourse is spread between her being a champion of women’s rights, and an anti native, anti black judge who delivered major losses to the cause. The response to her death tho on what to do now, has me kind of perplexed.

Obviously the response from conservatives has been one of joy at the fact trump will get another appointee, while Democrats response has been.... interesting. Ive seen a lot of demanding that people vote now more than ever. But Biden can’t stop Trump from appointing someone else

I’ve also, very troublingly, seen people demand that others “open their wallets” in order to donate to campaigns, which of course is weird cause it’s asking people to buy their candidates seats in government. having to spend money to ensure you get representation is fucked.

If RBG was the only thing holding up American democracy, hate to tell you, but it wasn’t a democracy. Additionally, super concerning that people are suggesting bandaid solutions like adding more justices to the court, but ignoring why are life time appointments even a thing?

Voting is a cool passive way to politically engage, but organizing works better. It’s just so bad to see people when faced with the prospect of fascist judicial tyranny that the root issues are being ignored for “increase the number of justices” as a stop gap solution

In short, can we stop aiming for the lowest common denominator solutions? So long as America functions “as the founders intended” the entire world will suffer, buying government seats with citizens money isn’t sustainable, organize and huli the system so we can be liberated.
