While the unelected, unaccountable political aristocracy of the Supreme Court strips away our right to bodily autonomy, the Democratic Party exploits this tragedy for its own gain, offering us nothing but fundraising emails and toothless half-measures. Rather than putting their considerable resources into fighting the rising right wing, they smother any grassroots fight that has not been pre-approved by their donors. In doing so, they flout democracy, paying canvassers to harass petition signatories and turning certification of ballot access into a partisan weapon.
