    if it’s the East Coast Elite running the supreme court, then how come they’re doing regressive dumb shit like overturning Roe vs Wade and putting a stop to student loan forgiveness? How did either of these things help with the “harsh realities of working class Americans in Midwestern and Western America” ?

      The Supreme Court is completely decoupled from the American population. What do you expect to happen? It’s a place where career justices can go to play ideology while normal people are suffering.

      The East Coast elite is very rich and (by extension) conservative. They are never going to vote for things that actually help the American populace.
