If we have the Senate, we need to get rid of the filibuster so we can do good things for the millions of people who are hurting. A New New Deal. That would make him and the Dems super popular.

I'm trying to think how CA managed to put the Republican Party completely out of power. We weren't the first state to do that. I think Washington was ahead of us. I think the voters did that, though. But that's what needs to be done. Allow them no decision making power at all until they turn back into Einsenhower/Rockefeller Republicans.
