2. Democrats need to stop playing old school politics, get off their hands and do something about this.

If we can keep a Congressional majority in place, and actually win the White House in 2028, the Democrats better not slow walk the reforms necessary to take back this country from the Fascists. We did it in 2021=23, too timid to take the risks necessary to keep Trump out of the White House and get him tried and convicted for January 6th and we cannot afford to be distracted again.

The first thing a Democratic controlled congress with a Democrat in the White House needs to do is pack the Supreme Court. No messing around this time, no dilly-dallying, foot dragging or moaning about senate traditions. Break the filibuster and pack the court with the most progressive, liberal justices in the country, to undo all of the crap this court has done. The goal should be to ram through everything that has been lost, including Roe, Citizens United, rolling back presidential immunity and strengthening voting rights. Then turn inward and censure Thomas, Alito, Cavanaugh, Gorsuch, Coney-Barrett and Roberts. Maybe they'll retire then and the Democratic President can find more progressive liberals to put on the court.
