In reply to the discussion: What MIGHT Have Dems Done To Stop GOP On The Fillibuster? (title change) [View all]eniwetok
(1,629 posts)On some level the GOP knows it has a minority agenda of protecting wealth and corporate power... but they can't openly run on that agenda. So they need to do two key things:
Con single issue voters to join their coalition and
Game an antidemocratic system, including the courts, that the Dems obligingly refuse to ever reform to make it democratic.
I haven't done an analysis of votes for Roberts and Alito, but Thomas was approved by Senators who represented less than 50% of the US population and I suspect Gorsuch just was as well. And THIS is a key reason that Dems should FINALLY cast a critical eye at not just the EC but the Senate... and ALL parts of the Constitution that involve state suffrage because they ALL are inherently antidemocratic.
