Either we need to elect more Republicans in November or Republicans must end the ridiculous 60 vote, or Filibuster, rule - or better yet, do both. Cryin Chuck would do it on day one, but well never give him the chance. Some great legislation awaits - be smart!

(5,524 posts)"Chuck" didn't do that for 7 fucking years while the GOP obstructed everything Obama did.
But what's a little truth when a dictator wants to make a power play.

(2,541 posts)The vote in historically high numbers in November. Trump has done nothing to secure our elections from Russian influence and republicans are going to do everything they can (already are) to suppress voting thru the gerrymandering they have done, voter roll purging, vote requirements i.e. specific ID, throttle the ability to vote by having only a couple voting machines at Dem districts. Republican PACs will also be doing all they can to disrupt votes as they have in past by sending official looking notifications to misinform voter. Trump and republicans can not afford to lose the majority in either house. If they do lose majority they will not be able to ignore what Mueller finds and it wont matter if trump does fires Mueller because Dems will be able to open proper investigations and people will go to jail.
The only way Dems get back a majority is if voters come out in historic numbers so there can be no ambiguity about who won. If we dont get back a majority and are able to put a check on trump and trump / republicans get another 2yrs of total control I dont believe our country can survive. The dire warnings we are hearing from people like Micheal Moore / Bill Maher / Rachel Maddow / Preet Bharara are very real. Maher already thinks trump is planning on remaining president for life and I dont think he is wrong if trump can find a way he will do it and the current republicans will go rt along with him.
