Is there any set of circumstances where dems would ever take meaningful, organized action against The Party?

      Ever notice that republican presidents are extremely dangerous threats to the entire world and dem presidents are tiny babies who can’t be expected to accomplish a thing? Ever notice how whenever the dems have a trifecta, there’s always juuuuuuust enough of their own party members fighting them to prevent any action?

      Who is going to stop the president from ignoring a court order? Don’t forget that the judicial branch firstly just made up their powers of judicial review, and have always relied on the executive branch for enforcement. I bring the up because Undermining the power of the supreme court is in and of itself a positive and democratic end, because the president is at least a little bit democratically accountable, while the supreme Court isn’t in any way. To put it another way, an unelected council of lifetime appointees isn’t a democratic institution. You are right that this isn’t entirely genocide joes fault, the entire bourgeois “two party” regime is to blame. He is just the face of said regime
