(53,032 posts)8. How often did we hear that the court didn't matter?
That making arguments about it was weak, a cop out. Well, here we are. Those who decided our lives weren't important enough to get over their anger to vote for the Democrat helped put the fascist and his court in place. I realize they don't care and are happy with the fact they were able to punish so many Americans less privileged than themselves, and now millions will suffer due to their actions. And yet they still complain we aren't catering to their demands, as though no one else matters at all.
I will continue to work on GOTV and turn out as many votes as I can, regardless of how they may have voted in 2016 or any other election. But I will never forget or forgive.
