In reply to the discussion: Why Democrats must expand the Supreme Court [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(21,866 posts)I want Dems to govern out of conviction and determination, without fear or hesitation, Like Whitmer did with a one seat majority in the state legislature. In one year they rammed through bill after bill- codifying Roe, raising minimum wage, protecting labor rights, voting rights, and so much more.
That cant be done at the federal level unless the filibuster dies and the court is expanded.
Without court expansion, there can be no restoration of democracy, no repair of the damage of the Trump era. The only long game is waiting decades and hoping a conservative Justice dies while a Dem is president and has a Dem senate, meanwhile voters perceive Dems as feckless and unable to govern.
Your long game politics is akin to the go slow approach of Dixiecrats on civil rights, and is unacceptable, politically or morally.
