One of the reasons this election is so critical is the Supreme Court. If Trump wins, Alito and Thomas likely step down and two new, younger, likely even more conservatives get appointed, leaving Trump with 5 appointees who will fuck us for decades.
We have to keep that from happening. We need Biden to hold the fort if nothing else. Hopefully, it will become quite evident that this court is corrupt AF, and there will be real momentum for reforms and/or impeachment of Alito and/or Thomas. We'll need Dem senators to actually start pushing for this and probably start pushing for increasing the Senate with DC, Puerto Rico, and Samoa statehood.
But people gotta suck it up and support Biden, while at the same time getting involved at the state level.
Maybe a better way to say it is obvious enough for people not paying close attention to have no doubt about the corruption, and as a result Court reform becomes a mainstream issue that moderate Dems get behind.
I think with more state level work, Dems could start flipping more Senate seats. AZ and Georgia are recent examples. But it needs to be a 50 state strategy, and too often people just see a red state and throw up their hands as if there's no way that can change.
Correct, that is the full process. Even if the Senate is unlikely to convict, that doesn't mean the house shouldn't Impeach. It elevates the issue, brings attention to it, can dig up more information, and at least shows that some measure of accountability is being sought.
I'm not sure a new justice could be appointed this close to the election given Joe Manchin's previous statements. It also wouldn't change the balance of power.
A constitutional amendment, placed on the November ballot by GOP lawmakers, would severely restrict direct democracy through strict geographic requirements on ballot petitions.
It's the latest in a long line of attempts to weaken citizen ballot initiatives in the state. It's almost like the GOP minority doesn't want the majority of citizens having a say in the legislative process. Especially when legislators repeatedly fail to meet the policy needs of citizens in Arizona.

In all seriousness, he could someday move to an employee and customer ownership model and give or sell shares of steam to uses. Would be an awesome fuck you to all the big corporations trying to dominate the games industry.
Ideally, you work towards an associates degree which then makes it even easier to transfer to a university. Many states have agreements between community colleges and universities where your associate's degree counts for the first 2 years of studies and all of your electives. So when you start a university you jump right into your major. However, you will have to take more than just one class at the community college.
We need more Democrats in the Senate. To get that we need better representation in States or more senators. Folks have to start working at the local and state level to start affecting change, because in the current system it's really hard to make that happen from the top down.
We should totally be going for a judicial reform, both of the district, federal circuit, and supreme Court levels. Republicans have what they have today because they've had a 40 to 50-year strategy led by the Federalist society to put conservative judges and positions of power up and down the ladder. And Democrats are about 30 years behind.
Rather than no socks, get a pair of no-show socks. Especially if you'll be wearing them on multiple occasions where your feet will sweat, otherwise you'll probably get blisters and eventually your shoes will stink very badly.
Hit up one of the poster vendors that usually visits university campuses to get some wall decoration.
A RGB lighting strip around the roof perimeter can do wonders for setting the mod of the room.
If you have want to have people in your room to hang out, consider getting a futon instead of a bed. Won't do your back any favors, but will be more functional during the college years.
You can get a watch repair kit on Amazon that will have the tools to remove the pins between the links.
I've also had luck going to a department store with a jewelery counter and seeing if they can make adjustments. Especially if it's a brand of watch they carry, you can always say someone got it as a gift for you from that chain of stores.
