America is not a Democracy. The founders designed it to allow a select minority to rule. In other words, minority rule.
Republicans are setting up the courts for minority rule even in a more progressive country.
There are a lot of headwinds. Progressives and their allies must win with supermajorities to be a deterrent to the courts owned by the Plutocracy.

Only in the Supreme Court does the majority consistently make policy in Washington. And most of that majority was nominated by presidents who got fewer votes than their rivals.
