Forget getting a 60 supermajority in 2028. Start the Senate session by having a simple majority vote to kill the filibuster. Call your Senators and urge them to kill the filibuster. We can't pass universal healthcare without killing the filibuster. It's impossible to pass national abortion rights without killing the filibuster. The rigged Republican Supreme court is indestructible until you kill the filibuster. Fair and reasonable immigration enforcement and reform comes after you kill the filibuster.
People say that the filibuster is like brakes on an elevator. A safety mechanism to stop the disaster of mob rule. But the founding fathers already gave each state two senators regardless of population. So the filibuster is more like welding the elevator to the rails so it can't move. Nobody likes living or working in a building with an elevator that can't operate. Nobody likes living or working in a country with a government that can't operate.
People complain that Democrats never get anything done. It's because the filibuster makes passing real reform impossible. We have a D.I.N.O-proof majority in the Senate.
KILL THE FUCKING FILIBUSTER!!!

My home state of Iowa went completely blue for National elections and Governor. All three contested seats plus Governor went blue by a huge margin. Ashley Hinson lost to Josh Turek. Zach Nunn lost to Sarah Garriot. Meeks lost to Bohanen. Rob Sand is our first Democratic governor in over a decade! |
All three top offices in my state, Democrats, handily won re-election. In 2022, they all scraped out narrow victories. The other two top state offices, Treasurer and Education, are going to flip blue. The Republican running for education was a career politician who bounced from office to office so she could keep punching her taxpayer funded meal ticket. She’s going to be out of office for the first time in over a decade. Democrats are poised to capture a majority in both houses of the AZ Legislature for the first time in 60 years. |
I lived in Phoenix for 8 years. Arizona going permablue and Texas going purple would pretty much make it almost impossible for a Republican to ever be president again. And I think this just might be the election that convinces Texans that their vote counts. So like Georgia it will be a state that can go blue with proper leadership.
