If we do nothing, their 6-3 majority will not only invalidate the Affordable Care Act (thus murdering many Americans, particularly poorer ones) and Roe vs. Wade (thus murdering many women); those two things are a horrible given now. But it gets worse, they will also invalidate anything positive we do in the coming decades. And they will do all that because of incredibly unfair stolen seats. Never forget what they did in 2016 to steal that seat.
The Republicans are breaking our democracy in their favor, since their party has been fully consumed by quasi-fascism. We, the majority of this nation, need to resist and break their unfair, minority-rule stranglehold on power.
So, three things are necessary, all things which a large number of Democrats now support because of how bad things have gotten in this country:
- A new state or states -- statehood for Washington, DC and Puerto Rico (if PR wants it, give them a clear up or down official vote). It is long past time.
- More members on the Supreme Court, to add two or three to make up for their unfair democracy-breaking actions and to have a court that won't immediately kill any major bill we pass.
- Get rid of the 60 vote rule in the Senate. This is a serious double edged sword, but because of the modern GOP there is no way around this, they can and will block ANYTHING we and to pass otherwise.
