If the Legislature and Presidency go all Democrat, the very FIRST thing they have to do, is deal with that insane Supreme Court.
Impeach Thomas, Alito and every idiot that fat Cheeto installed on the court. Probably will get Thomas, but not sure about the other 4, but they need a reality check. Thomas needs to go to be tried for his ethic violations afterward. He needs to revisit his life choices in a quiet cell. Also, scrap that stupid fucking RV of his. Seriously, why the fuck do those things exist? Why not just stay in a nice hotel? It would be cheaper.
Increase the court to anywhere between 11 and 15. There are 11 circuits, so 1 SC justice for each makes sense.
Then that court's first order of business is to shut the fuck up and do the job they are there to do.
Wait, why not reverse the previous decisions... Easy, because what has happened this year, can happen again... so...
Congress needs to codify women's reproductive rights, Chevron Deference, and anything else these bunch of fucking morons did this past year. Congress should then take a real close look at any other "business as usual" things that go on in government and see how they could be better protected from the next assault from these assholes.
The Fucking Idiot Six on the Supreme Court put into very sharp relief the weaknesses in our government. It's time to rectify that.
The Supreme Court will change in the next 4 years. At least 2 of those 6 won't be there. Doesn't mean it still shouldn't be fundamentally changed, though. And it doesn't mean that laws shouldn't be written to safeguard rights.
the more light that is shone on Harris the better she gets
I hope she tackles campaign finance reform to get unlimited money out of politics, and widespread voter protection laws to protect the right to vote as top priorities. Biden helped put out all the critical brushfires and made some investments in the future, as usual for an incoming dem, but we can't make long term progress when repubs can walk away with every other election due to their business support and voter suppression.
Make election day a federal holiday. Undo Citizens United, somehow.
I am voting Harris. I was going to vote Biden. But I wish they would stop calling either of them Progressive. Hopefully Bernie can get her to move on some agenda before she receives his endorsement.
She received Bernie's endorsement on Monday. He was one of the first Senators.
Bernie would have been an excellent president, but he's always been pragmatic rather than opportunistic. He advocates for the same progressive policies he always has, but he also knows Harris needs to win. Democrats don't need to be pulled left, they need to be pushed forward. That's how we win, and that's how America and humanity will survive.
yeah, I think harris, like biden is kinda, sorta, maybe progressive-adjacent-ish.
an early bernie endorsement might signal he can work with her. all in all this is shaping up like we have the possibility of a chance.
she's throwing meat. this is good.
What progressive policy? There have been some good things, but that's nowhere near what true progressives want. Let's start with ending the genocide and healthcare for everyone.
Biden's administration has been the most progressive presidential administration in US history. He limited drug costs using the federal government's buying power.
If you don't know that, you don't have expensive health issues. Also, the idea that there's a switch on the Resolute Desk that says "Middle East Genocide", currently set to "on", displays fundamental misunderstanding of the roots of problems in the area.
The Old Testament commands the children of Abraham to conquer other Canaanites in the area and "make no treaties with them". Clearly there's been war there for at least 2500 years. No president is going to "end the genocide", not even if they were the reincarnation of Abraham himself.
There has not been a war there for 2500 years. Zionist terrorists ran the British out right after World War 2 and then they began clearing out Arabs, which led to the first war with their neighbors.
Biden’s administration has been the most progressive
Did FDR never happen in your timeline?
If you don’t know that, you don’t have
Or I may have incredible health insurance. Or I may have lots of money. You don't know shit about my life and it's small-minded to make assumptions.
Clearly there’s been war there for at least
Accepting genocide and writing it off as something that can't be helped is pretty shitty.
She can't actually do anything yet. She could put Israel on notice but that's about it and they may not see that as a plus for the campaign.
Harris: "Wow, this list is short. Maybe afterwards I can start on my own list...."
