Prezzie gets to pick supreme Court justices and generally, who controls Congress doesn’t matter for that. Only Obama has rolled over to give away a pick in living memory.

13 years ago is referring to when Bush left office, which would otherwise mean including 8 years of a Republican president. The 13 years highlights the longest period of Democratic presidents within most Hexbear users’ adult lives.

During those 13 years, in 9 years of Democratic presidents they have chosen 2 justices and the single-term Republican chose 3.

Though I would actually include Bush’s 8 because his election was stolen. This would remind everyone how much individualist electoralism is a slot machine that constantly threatens to divert your potential for organizing into a false sense of potential impact (like a certain left-punching breadtuber) - whereas much larger forces are actually at play and you’re not gonna do shit about them on your own. Some people will even buy into the game so hard that they feel the need to guilt/attack comrades disillusioned with this particularly ridiculous bourgeois democratic expectation (like a certain left-punching breadtuber).
