I mean, I'm no fan of Roberts nor the current SCOTUS, but this isn't a ruling on the merits, but a stay on the reinstatement by the lower court.

Still shitty, just more nuanced than the headline suggested.

I am not entirely sure what to expect, and neither do you, because neither of us can predict the future.

I do know that in past elections, the message that "your vote doesn't matter" or "both sides are the same" lead directly to the situation we're in right now, which is what my response was addressing.

To be fair, "representative democracy" isn't exactly what the US is experiencing at the moment.

Between the gerrymandering, the lack of ranked choice voting, the unlimited spending allowances by Congress (they could write a law limiting spending by private corporations and declare corporations "not persons", but have not done so), which keeps the two party system afloat, it's an insult to "representative democracy" to call the current system in the US such a name.

"This message brought to you by those that sat out of the last election and directly caused all of this chaos"

GTFO with this nonsense
