in SCOTUS's 2019 term:
-RBG agreed w/ the conservative majority 73.9% of the time
-Sotomayor 73.9%
-Breyer 78.3%
-Kagan 82.6%
most decisions are 9-0. the ones that aren't should fall under the political question doctrine anyway
your "but SCOTUS?!" argument might be hyperbolic

*the political question doctrine says the court should not adjudicate questions that are political, not legal, in nature. flawed as that is (it wasn't applied to bush v. gore ffs) most 5-4 decisions are on blatantly political issues that might deserve more public oversight anyway
i'm not saying it isn't a good reason to vote a certain way. i'm saying it's hyperbolic. on questions that affect the working class--pension collection, land use for urban development, workplace rights--SCOTUS is usually unanimously neoliberal. being aware of that is a good thing
