You'll notice that's due to a supreme court ruling, the same supreme court trump managed to stuff last tkme he got power. If the Dems get a workable majority in both houses and the presidency you'll at least have fighting chance that they'll push back on some of this stuff. trump is slavering at the prospect of making it worse, and has been clear that he intends to.

Don't get me wrong, it's a lousy system and a poor set of choices, but one is clearly worse than the other, and they both actually have a recent track record of being president, so you can make an informed choice.

Critically though, this isn't just about the president, but also every other position on the ballot too.

Bro Biden is going to die in the next four years regardless; he could personally shoot every conservative supreme court justice. He chooses not to. How can you respect that?

Whilst it's an amusing thought, I really don't think that advocating assassinating your judicial opponents is a good idea. Remember that once it starts, it wont stop, so even if you get someone who aligns with your views, they'll likely be eliminated in short order.

Term limits, age restrictions or even just a robust anti-bribery system would likely achieve similar results.

Considering the Supreme Court basically just legalized bribery, what do you think the odds are that we’re going to get that?

That's why I said 'even just a robust anti-bribery system'. Right now the Republicans seem to be trying to speed-run turning the country into a fascist dictatorship, minimally hampered by the Democrats. The Republicans hold all the power right now, bar the actual president, so it makes sense they can push though their vision of the future.

The Democratic leadership likes taking bribes just as much.

I've not doubt. It's just the supreme court that have done it so blatantly.
