General Discussion

Removing the corruption and bias would allow Dems to pass new laws protecting voter rights, reproductive rights, corporate regulations, campaign finance restrictions etc. without fear of those laws being instantly overturned as somehow unconstitutional.

Respect for Stare decicis would return to the court, and restraining the executive branch would no longer be an impossible pipe dream.

If Dems expanded the court quickly upon regaining the trifecta in 2029, and then governed effectively, passing laws that provided immediate, tangible benefits to the people, there would be no “backfire” from the voters.

If everyone eligible could vote easily with no hassles, ICE was no longer terrorizing communities, student loans were forgiven, billionaires paid more taxes than teachers and bus drivers, women regained reproductive rights, families enjoyed affordable healthcare, child tax credits, and a higher minimum wage, I think voters would be much more likely to reward Dems with majorities for years to come.

Dems must not hesitate to govern effectively out of fear of “what the republicans might do”; we’ve seen the worst republicans can do…fearless governance by Dems can only make things better.

We must demand that our elected officials govern fearlessly, starting with killing the filibuster and expanding the court.
