I’ve read every single word you’ve wrote and gone to each of your sources.
Reading something doesn't mean anything if you don't understand it.
Show me how money has altered any of the sitting current justices opinions.
See above and actually read in good faith.
I can't explain something to somebody who doesn't want to listen to the explanation.
You really couldn’t
You can lead a horse to water...
I know, hard to make an argument when you just make wild claims.
No, it's just hard to talk with people who do not do so in good faith.
I’m encouraging you to show me.
I think I'm alright. I'm not going to waste my time any further.
You: The systems broken, I can’t get what I want!
Me: It’s up to your representatives, get involved, get better people in office
You: They call me a communist :(
Why say anything if you're just gonna misrepresent what I've said?
You’re showing some conflict of interest, but come on.
Yup, that's generally what "in the pocket of the rich" means. It means you have a conflict of interest to rule in favor of the rich because they have given you shit. I sincerely do not understand what part of that you're hung up on.
He just ruled on roe v wade, show me how he’s in the pockets of the rich for that ruling
Just because somebody is in the pocket of the rich doesn't mean that every single ruling will have something to do with money. You have an unrealistic expectation here as well.
If you're looking for rulings that blatantly side with the rich, the citizens united ruling is the place to start.
Here is another good place to start: https://time.com/5793956/supreme-court-loves-rich/
Or anything, come on, you said it, make your point.
See the above links.
You said the system is broken and it’s because you get called a communist by someone online.
No I did not. If you're going to spend the time to debate you should at least understand what people have said.
So you’re sad because vote isn’t overriding every one elses?
Nope. Never said that either.
I don’t know what you want me to say, to you not getting your way every election
I want you to acknowledge that there is no such thing as a simple solution for these problems. You keep saying "oh, just do X if Y doesn't work", but that's not the reality of the situation, these problems require significant and complicated change.
Maybe. Are you able to prove this at all?

Just because people disagree with you doesn’t mean the system is wrong.
I never said the system is wrong because people disagree with me.
I'm just pointing out that these solutions you are giving aren't anywhere near as effective as you seem to think they are.
doesn’t mean that we should actively go against our foundation of the nation. Sorry weed isn’t legalized, doesn’t mean that we should remove the judicial branch from the government.
Already covered that part:
"I don’t mean to say that legislation should be through the judicial branch"
You can thank the Chevron Deference case for that. Hopefully this SC court rules on that next year.
The supreme court is also in the pockets of the rich though.
Get involved. Vote for better candidates.
I do, and then those candidates typically don't get very far because they get called communists for daring to say that maybe healthcare shouldn't be for profit.
there’s a ‘conservatives only’ community that bans anyone they don’t like.
That one actually got removed because the owner got banned. The owner was posting some absolutely crazy shit.
If the people want legislation, they should go through the legislative branch.
How is that a reasonable expectation? I don't mean to be glib, this is a legitimate question. The chances that any given policy gets passed through congress and becomes a law is 30% regardless of public support:
So even when 99% of the population agrees on a bill, it still only has a 30% chance of passing. Bills that share the interests of the rich do not have this effect. They instead have this effect:
I don't mean to say that legislation should be through the judicial branch, but to me, treating the issue as simple as "go through the legislative branch" seems to miss the context that our legislation branch isn't good for anything other than giving money to the rich. So if the people want legislation, how should they reasonably be expected to make it happen?
It’s my right to disown any queer children I may or may not have, and it’s the school’s duty to help.
I could never be so proud to be so hateful. And I thought the republican party claimed to be the party of personal responsibility, and therefore, the responsibility to provide for your children no matter what?
I presume that’s the opinion of the people downvoting you.
I don't mind at all.
I did, see above.
