We pussyfooted around, when we had a majority in both houses, and allowed two Democratic senators to pooh-pooh breaking the filibuster in order to pack that damn Supreme Court. That would have solved most of the problems we are having now, but we let two guys who wanted to play the old protocol and politics games, long tossed aside by the GOP, hold us hostage. We could have eliminated Citizens united, saved Roe and expitided Trump into trial instead of letting corrupt judges like Aileen Cannon hold things up. One ruling supported by the court and his trial would be on. Even Milquetoast Merrick couldn't have stopped that.

Now,, every state where there is a Democratic majority in the legislature needs to move forward with redistricting. It is possible,, here in my state, to draw the lines and shut Republicans down completely, and I have written to the governor indicating I am favorable to any plan that keeps them from having a majority in any district. Do the math.

This needs to be more than talk. These states need to start doing it.
