IF the Dems win the Trifecta in November.....

[RicROC]

I hope they don't sit around for 2 years thinking of the ONE policy change that they could enact. Right from the git-go, they should push through all our changes that have crippled the US since Reagan through Trump.
"What will the Repubs think if we push so hard?" we will hear. Frankly, I don't care.

This November seems to be our last chance to correct the mistakes of the past 40 years.
And the next 2 years is all we have to get OUR legislation done. There's no such thing as beginning to enact Democratic program...it's we do it!

1. The House has sent something like

three hundred bills to the Senate. The majority of them are bipartisan. All we have to do is get the Senate to act on them. That would mean dumping the turtle and winning back the Senate. I am sorry, but I don't see that happening.

3. You'd have the same problem as Obama UNLESS you have a super-majority in the Senate.

Mitch will be there with his filibuster, preventing votes on legislation.

[Zolorp]

4. Either we kill the filibuster of they will the next time they have power

If we win the trifecta they will never again tolerate a filibuster.

It's time for us to kill it.

[Gore1FL]

5. McConnell gets to use the filibuster one time. Then it dies.

It's a stupid rule that the GOP has abused to cripple government. It's time for it to go. It needs a simple majority to happen.

7. Filbuster or Bust

And I'll take bust. It's time for that antiquated piece of nonsense to go. Democrats - and therefore all right-thinking people - don't get anything out of it, so time to thank it for its service and move on.

6. I Do

When I break down the individual races, I'm incredibly hopeful.

[Sherman A1]

2. Agreed

We simply don’t have time to waste on the one idea concept you mention and/or a reset presidency. That is why I support Andrew Yang and his lengthy list of policy proposals.

8. I hope the New Democratic President

Gets writers cramp from sighing executive orders reversing every one Donald Has put on us, on Day1.

9. #1 priority -- election reform.

Reverse Citizens United.
Serious campaign finance regulations (money is not free speech!)
Outlaw gerrymandering.
Outlaw anything but human-verifiable and auditable paper ballots.
Require the same number of polling machines per capita available within a maximum distance of any citizen, with provisions for mail-in ballots.
Outlaw campaign ads not paid for and authorized by candidates.

Once you lock that in, the rest is easy, a large majority americans want policies that we want, it is just impossible to get reasonable representation when elections are so one-sided.

#2 priority -- media reform. Actually just take it bake to pre-Reagan rules.

10. A number of those can't be fixed in Congress

or the Presidency.

They will have to be fixed in the Supreme Court.

(1st amendment issues)

11. So quickly add 5 more justices to the SP.

9 is kind of crazy low anyway for lifetime appointments.

The GOP would do this in a heartbeat. In fact, they're probably considering it if they win the senate and WH next Nov.


Ultimately SP justices should only be serving terms, like senators. Founding fathers had no idea how dramatically out lifespans would change.
