The years 1932 thru 1952. That's how long our ancestors kept the Republicans out of the Whitehouse. It transformed our culture, country for the better.
Biden and the Democrats must constantly remind the people it is the president who picks the members of the court. If another Republican is elected president they will put more extreme judges on the court.
The Republicans extremism may have just set off a huge cultural shift in our country. The majority of young people do not like what the Republicans are doing . They are the future.

(21,280 posts)Gorsuch is in his 50's, Kavanaugh, Roberts, Alito, aren't that old. Clarence Thomas will die on the bench.
Can't afford to wait for Clarence Thomas to die off, Democrats need to win the Senate big and expand the court to 13 justices. People like me who suggested this were laughed at as being too radical, well expanding the court is the only rational option left.

(43,115 posts)They're so busy educating they put voters to sleep. We need some rhetoric and some leaders to step up like never before. Causality and responsibility and events in politics are complicated. More than 65% of voters don't have the conceptual framework to understand what went down yesterday. We have to convince the unmotivated, ignorant, lackadaisical masses to care about the future.
Do you understand the problem now?

(4,913 posts)We kept the Republicans out of power and completely transformed our culture, our economy, our country. This forced the Republican Party to change. When Ike became president he did not run on trickle down economics, the people would not accept it.
It looks like this is something we have to do every hundred years or so.
