RBG gave us many great decisions. It will be sad to see those decisions erased by a 6-3 court but that is what happens when political pragmatism is ignored.

If we are lucky Joe will win this election and we will take the senate this year or in 2022 when the odds are better. As soon as we have both congress and the presidency we must expand the Supreme Court to 29 justices and we must add 5 new heavily Democratic states to the union to preserve our majority.

We enact the Wyoming rule and increase the number of representatives to better reflect our urban demographics.

Republicans are doing everything in their power to advance the interests of corporations and religious bigots. We must do everything in our power to advance the interest of the country as a whole.

There is zero reason to play by the rules of a game that the opposition long ago stopped playing.
