I didn’t know the entirety of American politics only started with the election of Trump

Did I say that?

The point is that the Supreme Court would look very different today (and by all indications would have decided this case differently) had Trump lost in 2016. It’s absurd to write off voting entirely when it has consequences like this.

I know that’s why I’m so glad we elected Biden who very quickly expanded the supreme court

The point is that electoral outcomes do change some things, not that every elected official is good.

You don’t need to say it because it’s assumed when you say that voting would have stopped this from happening. What were the conditions that led to Trump even winning in the first place, and why should we have any faith in a political and electoral system that allowed these conditions to arise?

So we’re doing the reddit thing where we put words in people’s mouths and get mad at them over it. Seems productive; I’m sure that’ll bring the revolution any day now.
