VOTE because mcconnell is going to replace her before election day no matter what you do.
Also, the supreme court is already majority conservative. Also the court is conservative by design. It is supposed to stop democratic institutions from passing laws to change things. It has basically always sided with the powerful against the powerless.
It's convenient for them to keep around, because they don't need to obey the spirit of the ruling (abortion access) instead it actually frees them up to implement all the anti-abortion laws they want, so long as it isn't outlawed by name.
Someone said it in another thread, and I'm an unoriginal parrot. But yeah, I agree with the sentiment -- it has been entrenched for long enough that they will gut it in every single other way possible, but never actually overturn.
This actually puts us in a pretty good position to setup soviets at the state level, no? With the polarization of more democratic local vs more fascistic federal? If it becomes clear the only progress is local/communal, and liberals see that liberal capitalism failed, I feel like the still present obsession with hyperfocusing on 1 area will benefit us, less for them to look at; instead of local and the fed, it can be all local with a focus on community instead of business. Eitherway, if the libs want to stand up in this country, they'll need to court us, which means joining us. Going forward I don't see liberalism making a comeback.
Why wouldn't they? If they can come close in a critical GOP held state, perhaps Florida, they can push the same strategy. Do recounts until they get their result, and fall back on the supreme court emergency session to support it.
My response when someone on the left tells me to vote for Biden, that it'll make a difference. If the fall of liberalism bring us nothing else, it better bring the end of that bullshit cheerleading.

Also we've never had free and fair elections. Also the general rule of law has been a joke for the past century.
They might not overturn Roe v. Wade right away, just because it's such a lightning rod boogeyman for riling up evangelicals and TradCaths.
Same-sex marriage is probably gone before the end of the first year of Trump's second term, though. But hey, RUSSIA.
