What should the Democrats prioritize if they take the WH and Senate?

this is true, im one of them :mjlol:

i voted for charlie because thats our business within the state and i figured he could veto some of taxachusetts' terrible spending

but i would NEVER send a member of this current republican party to washington :scusthov:

Voted for a Republican as our state's treasurer because he seemed more willing to address fiscal deficits in a way that made sense to me. His democrat counterpart was all talk no substance :mindblown:

heres what im thinking on the approach:

first thing you propose is making DC a state. the republicans obviously refuse

at that point you get rid of the filibuster. they're gonna need an initial issue, doesnt have to be DC but a reasonable proposal that the republicans obstruct

and then you just go hard on shyt like making election day a holiday, stimulus checks, and a bunch of bills that most of the country will LIKE. not partisan shyt, but popular shyt. and obviously add judges, but maybe a year or so into it so it's not seen as some hostile takeover but the dems still get what they want

they'd have to abandon chasing white moderates though :francis:

Republicans can mount a unified front when its a white nationalist party :francis:
At this point there's nothing else left. The tactics the dems use get them nowhere. The Senate and electoral college enable a minority of voters to control the nation's. I mean there are states with under 500,000 residents living in them that have 2 senators while states with 10-40 million people also have 2. A county in New York's equivalent shouldn't have 2 senators while the whole state of New York has 2.

Those were the terms of their union membership...and keeping the union whole > your dislike for the equal representation of each state:yeshrug:
...and the number of EC votes a state has is tied to population.:manny:

It's not equal representation. Just because it has the appearance of being equal doesn't make it so. It favors those small population states disproportionatly.

New England has a bunch of Little states.

Out of the 4 most populous states, there are 4 D senators and 4 R senators

The Senate also saved the Dems a bit in the 2010s. The House under Trump voted on repealing Obamacare.
