17. I think this will force Democrats to legislate better

Mon Oct 26, 2020, 09:02 PM

Oct 2020

We probably should have passed a strong federal women's reproductive rights bill in Obama's first term. We could do that this time if Biden wins and we take the Senate. We pass racial justice reforms. And marriage equality.

We need to stop worrying about taking a stand that might motivate some of our opponents. We should be proud and bold to state what we believe.

Remember, we could have a 5-4 majority sooner than you think. Not everyone lives to be old. Not everyone wants to grow old on the SC.
