We are now Ruth-less. So now we must become ruthless.

We're going to win the WH and the Senate.

In the first weeks, we need to:

- End the legislative filibuster
- Increase the size of the SCOTUS by at least 2.
- Ban gerrymandering.
- Restore the Voting Rights Act
- Grant Puerto Rico and Washington DC statehood

No mercy.

No prisoners.

No deals.

They've exposed themselves as facists who don't respect democratic norms.

The Electoral College is another undemocratic piece of shit that we need to find a way around, as it likely will never be repealed. But we could find ways to neuter it.

The GOP is a minority party that benefits from a system rigged in favor of RW whites, and only works to keep that imbalance going.
