I’ve felt this too. If HRC had been elected in 2016 and sat three people on SCOTUS we would be able to do this, but people were more worried about her emails than real problems that affect their lives. And here we are.

I think the movement that needs to be made is for an amendment that establishes a system for a national referendum. That might actually be able to pass enough state houses to go through. Then the people could have their voices heard. But I think even that would be a LONG time to pass.
