Adequate numbers of useful idiots voted for Ralph Nader '00 and Jill Stein '16 to hand hand power to the GOP. And now the Republicans have the SCOTUS of their dreams which will rubber stamp anything the GOP wants.

A SCOTUS that will also, not coincidentally, strike down every progressive and rational law and regulation that we have enacted in the last 100 years and hamstring any progressive and rational laws that we might pass in the next 100.

Elections have consequences, even when you decide to vote none of the above.

TLDR:

Jill Stein 2028!

Can't wait to see what they say when he demands power to fire SCOTUS justices. Just the DEI hires, of course.
