On the contrary, the US system relies on judges to abuse their authority.
This way they can pretend to be 'democratic' while pushing through their actual preferences by means of judicial activism.
The ruling classes do the same here in Europe. They go to Brussels and agree on something which the population despises, and then say they can't do anything about it. "Ooooooooh sorry, we have to do it because it's an EU edict".
You say "the US" but all I hear is "Democrats"
Republicans don't rely on judicial activism to subvert democracy.
You can't blame all the ills in a country on one faction. Democrats and Republicans are just two arms of the regime. Maybe this is easier for me to see because many European countries have numerous parties, all of them arms of the regime.
Look, both you and we are in big trouble, and we won't be able to solve it unless we properly diagnose the problem and its cause.
Quite a broad claim, but not a very credible one when many Republicans have been complicit in the subversion of democracy.
If I could Thanos snap all the Democrats away and we ended up with a Republican-only country, it would be a VERY different country.
That is a childish fantasy. In fact, if there were no Democrats, I think there would be even less incentive for Republicans to do anything.
