(13,517 posts)tells them what they are prepared to do with more dems in the senate in 2022. If voters think that the dems won't take the measures needed, even with a bigger majority, then apathy sets in. The dems need to get together and decide if they do get a majority are they prepared to take the steps needed, including balancing the court. If the rest of them are on side, realizing the seriousness of the situation, then Biden needs to let voters know that he will support it. I am so worried that many voters do not believe that Biden or the dems in senate, will do what is needed to save democracy, for the very reason you also relayed; the republicans can do the same down the road. In the interim, if dems get a majority and fix the courts, fix the laws then maybe it will be far more difficult for the republicans to undo. What they cannot do is ever expect the republicans to act like a real political party, those days are long gone and it is time the majority rules and boldly without worrying about retaliation from the minority. Right now the supreme court is governing from the bench and against the majority, they need to be stopped. If not, in 2024 the entire democracy could be gone.
