A little late for that bullshit. Should have been top priorities for both Obama and Biden. I expect nothing from establishment Democrats other than bumper sticker speak. They are corportists doing the boardroom's bidding.

And you know who really made it all possible? The dumb fuck voters who decide to put a criminal rapist back in the WH on the eve of three major criminal cases that would have ended with said criminal rapist behind bars. Only a real moron wouldn't be able to figure that one out.

Speaking for myself, a Blue Voter, I lost confidence in Hakeem Jeffries a long time ago I live in Texas, but our House Senate members in DC, regardless of their home state, affects all of us That said, I hope that the 8th District of NY will consider another person at least by the 2028 election

Based on the Google search seems like he opposed other decisions too but the VRA stuff is the only one that got widely publicized, so you’re right on that. And I’m not diminishing the importance of VRA, just highlighting that SCOTUS has done a lot of damage across the board.

I get it but there’s still going to be little that can be done with SCOTUS until we have the majority in all three branches (or have a 2/3 majority in both houses to block presidential vetos) but absolute agreement SCOTUS needs an overall and total revamping.

Hopefully, as we get closer and closer to 2029, more Democratic politicians will explicitly adopt Supreme Court expansion as the most effective and easily attainable means to reform this Court.

We don’t need fellow Democrats calling other Democrats a cancer. I agree we can find more effective leadership and hope we do. We’d all do well to remember That fighting fascism is going to require unity.

They haven’t fought hard enough. I agree with you. I think it’s important to remember that one might be important discussions within the Democratic Party and disagreements as well, there should be. They will be exploited. It’s going to be important to be unified going forward. That’s all I’m saying.

Dear Leader, Democratic candidates must pledge to restore humanity and justice to the US by stopping the financing of brutality, cruelty and criminality performed by ICE. Defund ICE! Restore humanity. Pull the plug on ICE's money. Stop the Nazi tactics on US soil.
