The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that removal protections for members of the Federal Trade Commission are unconstitutional and overturned a 90-year-old decision that allowed Congress to shield members of certain independent agencies from being fired by the president at will.

The decision from the high court expands the president’s power over many independent boards and commissions, which Congress had insulated from political pressure by saying their members could only be removed by the president for cause.

    Oh right I forgot “you have to vote who you think will win”

    So, you are wrong and voted wrong too.

    Did you think Harris could actually win? Really?

    And my point in saying they didn’t have policy is their literal ads sent to my house said exactly “nothing will fundamentally change” for Biden. And Kamala made it clear she was going to do the exact same shit as she refused to break from Biden on basically anything important. Sure they had policy but it was all fuckin garbage. The DNC lost because they refuse to do something to try and win. People don’t want to put up with “at least I am not a literal clone of Hitler, even if I’m just as bad.” People want a candidate worth voting for. That’s why I’ve heard tons of kids tell me their parents haven’t voted at all since Obama. Or other normie ass people I know have said the same. The DNC has shot itself in the face repeatedly since, and Biden honestly only won because his name was tied to Obama and people forgot he was tied to Obama to try and and anchor him to centrist ass bullshit, and that Biden not for progress or change at all. People refuse to keep voting for a race to the bottom in who can put out a worst candidate because that’s why we are where we are at.

    Look at NYC, that is how you energize the voting base.
