Our illegitimate Supreme Court is the saddest thing about our country. Absolutely awful, and the clearest sign that the GOP is not interested in the US being America anymore. 
It should be corrected.
It's as if the court is controlled by dark money >

Although that is a factor, let us not dismiss the fault lies with American citizens and their voting choices (including not voting). Dark money influences people, but it does not entirely deprive us of our choices in life.
The Uvalde shooting happened in the spring of 2022, however 6 months later the people in that community re-elected Republicans to the state capital from governor to state senate and downwards.
Londoners often ask me what it will take for the American people to wake up. The fact that the GOP still won so many races in November, despite the attack on women’s rights with Roe v. Wade being gutted and countless other misdeeds, says a lot more about American voters and non-voters. >

It's that but you have to factor in districts that are gerrymandered to hell the fact that we're not able to get time off to vote and the fact that some states make it as hard to vote as humanly possible. All I can say is non voters are a problem but my gen z ass and the rest of the people in my generation have been stepping up in record numbers. Which Republicans want to raise the voting age to 25 btw. You can go die for us at 18 but you have no say in what policies get implemented. The GOP has gone full fascist the time to stop them was 2012 but they go low we go high ya know?
We're so unbelievably screwed. >

Gerrymandering is why I am not afraid of DeSantis. His office rewrote the voting districts and the federal government told him they were discriminatory and he did it anyway. He won a red state that leans red in elections, and was gerrymandered for red votes. Put him in Virginia or Pennsylvania and they’ll see through him like they saw through Oz. >

You can’t gerrymander for Governor though. That’s just a statewide race.
Best he could do is depress turnout. But if people voted against him, he’d be gone. >

The reason DeSantis won is because the Democratic party has quit on Florida. They keep putting up the same candidate, Charlie Christ, who has failed to win like 4 times now. He's a terrible candidate, I miss the days of Jeb Bush to be honest.
The reason DeSantis won't work on a national stage, he is TERRIBLE in live debates. He's so bad that his public appearance schedule is secret. He only takes questions from staged reporters and if anyone finds out that isn't expressly requested to be there, they are removed. That won't work on a national stage. There isn't a GOP Candidate that will allow him to skate by without several debates. Trump would embarrass him on a national stage, it's the only reason I hope Trump runs, to destroy DeSantis and the last remnants of the MAGA cult. >

Republicans don't do debates anymore >

they do during primaries. >

Was Trump good in live debates? This seems like something that would cause Democrats to vote for someone else, but not Republicans. >

he was rude, crass, and just an all-around asshole. That definitely appeals to a certain demographic. DeSantis has zero qualities he can rely on to help him win on any kind of national stage. Don't get me wrong, there will always be people that vote (R) no matter what, but he isn't going to convert voters. >

This is what happens when you have arch partisans in stead of judges. 
The rest of the first world has a name for partisan judges it’s called corruption. >

This is what happens when you have a government that allows representatives a minority of the people to decide who gets to sit on the bench.
