I think Clinton’s charge to single-payer was a nightmare that anyone who remembers it doesn’t want to repeat. Expanding the court will be like that. Hopefully all the republican-lite lifers will give way to proper progressives, uh, quickly.
Not being willing to break things is what got Dems into this position in the first place.
I agree, anything we do - they will do worse - unencumbered by ethics or morals.
We would have to shut the door behind us. Sounds shitty, but that's what project 2025 is going to do for Republicans.
There will be no undoing of whatever happens whenever the next Republican becomes president. This is the last chance for politics to save us from that reality. We can sacrifice a few longstanding norms, knowing the risks. Or we can watch Republicans shatter all norms including the few we were trying to protect.
Hopefully. Would be nice to have an actually left wing Dem party
Start your own party. Start small: county commissions, sheriffs, and the like in low-population counties. Build a deep bench of people who have experience in legislative, executive, and judicial positions. Make the core principles about workers rights and make sure constituents are holding elected officials accountable to those principles.
Would be nice except you won't have the millions of dollars in backing that the teabaggers did.
We’re called The SexyTimes FlagHavers Party, running for county commission, sheriff, and the like. Donations are tax-deductible. Damn glad to meet ya.
