The lesson that the Democratic party, esp. leadership, needs to FINALLY learn.

[Yavin4]

The Republicans are ruthless. They are at war with Democrats, democracy, the American people, the Constitution, our long standing institutions, you name it. They're at war with everyone and everything in their quest for power.

The Democratic party needs to switch from seeking consensus to being just as ruthless in seeking power. This means making P.R. and DC states to increase Dem senators. Adding more seats to the SCOTUS. Re-draw districts in Blue states to increase representation. EVERYTHING has to be on the table.

We're in a, non-violent (so far), political Civil War with the Republicans in this country whether we like it or not.

1. I was thinking just this early this morning.

We need to take their playbook, own it, and throw it back in their faces. Nothing else will work.

2. The really big lesson we need to learn is that all elections are important, especially ones ...

for state legislature. They get to either reapportion or gerrymand.

3. It's a census year

My order of priorities:

Gotta take as many state legislatures as possible to be set up for redistricting.
Gotta win the Senate.
Hold the House.
Win White House.
Win governorships.

Then we use Moscow Mitch’s rules against him to fill any open judicial seats ASAP.
Redistrict to blue to solidify House and make it truly represent the wishes of the country.

2022
More governor races on the ballot
More redistricting
Increase Senate Majority
Utilize increased House majority to begin impeachment of unqualified judges, pass constitutional amendments to address the types of abuses that have occurred, and provide DC and PR statehood.
