I do think the "unelected judges making decisions" line will be useful for Dems, just as it was useful for the GOP after Roe.
But I think the language of "we don't live in a democracy" delegitimizes the government and is bad.

The fact is, if we don't live in a democracy, then we need to overthrow the government.
But the Left just isn't going to overthrow the U.S. government. If anyone does that, it'll be the Right.

This is just another case of liberals LARPing as if they're revolutionary, when in fact they're largely the institution. This is not the 70s. SCOTUS is an aberration; most institutions in this country are solidly liberal now.
By delegitimizing the government -- by claiming that we have no democracy to defend -- liberals merely play into the hands of the rightists who want to *actually* overthrow the government and actually abolish democracy.
It's just not a good move.

Anyway I wrote a post about this, elaborating on my thoughts and bringing in some data.
