Unfortunately, all the screaming did absolutely nothing. It didn't stop trump from being elected over someone highly qualified, or getting 3 Justices on the Court. We lost, and the likely reason -- when all is said and done about Comey, trump, etc. -- is people screaming and not voting for Clinton because they were mad their candidates got eliminated in the primaries.

As too your other issues, I likely agree with you, but packing the court or whatever won't change any of that.
