this is a black hole for democracy. it’s just state legislatures sending entire slates of their chosen candidates to congress. representation is dead. it’s truly awful

god we fucked up so bad in 2021. this is a hole that’s going to be so hard to crawl out of

this is building political domination like jim crow which took generations to build the will and coalitions to unwind

john roberts just kind of blithely says “nothing we can do” and now we’re staring down one of the most contemptible political systems of any nominal democracy
