(5,113 posts)Democracy is hanging by a thin thread and there are a lot of scissors out there. In order to get out of this, we're going to have to win the Presidency, win the House, get a larger margin in the Senate and abolish the filibuster and jam some sensible legislation right down their fucking throats, either expand the Court or impeach/fire a minimum of two of the Sinister Six, somehow convince mainstream media that their job isn't presenting "both sides" but is to tell the fucking TRUTH and call out bullshit no matter who it pisses off, find a better mechanism for combating disinformation, fund Ukraine sufficiently to kick Putin the fuck out of there, try to find a way to destabilize the regimes in Russia and China, get rid of Citizens United and establish public funding for all elections, re-establish the Civil Rights Act, establish sensible gun control, declare more right-wing radicals as domestic terrorists and discredit or jail them (or both), and I'm sure there's a hell of a lot more but I can't think of it off the top of my head.
