the “do nothing congress” was miles better

This sentiment is wrong. Making some effort to correct course should be a bare minimum. Accepting the broken system as irreversibly corrupt and doing nothing about it is objectively worse than using the institutions as they are intended. Even if these impeachments go nowhere, let it excite voters to turn out.

If you show up and vote for the party that actually wants to accomplish something, here is an example of what can be done. If you want to see checks and balances in action, vote for the party that is willing to make it happen.

With all the talk of the corruption of the most powerful court in the country, here is what the process looks like to fix it.

Conversely, if you just want to lie down and allow the court to continue to tear down the other “co-equal” branches of government, and regress our rights in an overtly corrupt way, then go ahead and sit back down. Do what you seem to prefer our elected leaders do: Shut up and fuck off. Find another place to commiserate with other self defeated losers.
