Democrats must win GA's Senate seats

[LV426]

There is nothing a Biden Administration can accomplish if McConnell controls the Senate.

Here's how things need to play out in order for us to get the country back on track:

1. Win the GA Senate seats on January 5th.
2. The day of Biden's inauguration, the Senate (hopefully under Dem control) must first admit DC and PR as states, increasing the number of Senators to 104
3. Once we get that new Senate majority with DC & PR, next step is to abolish the Electoral College with a new Voting Rights Act.
4. After the EC is gone, add at least 6 more seats to SCOTUS and reform the judiciary
5. Pass COVID relief by expanding Medicare either by lowering the age requirement to 50, or just removing it completely. That relief also needs to set in a UBI for the duration of the crisis.
6. Form a Trump Crimes Commission (maybe Harris leads it) to drag every single Trump official and appointee before the Commission, which would have subpoena power.

Count on me to contribute money, and send in some fraudulent mail in ballots.

Like most of this but.....

Two seats is the most I could justify. I don't like court stacking, but correcting the Garland wrong is appropriate. That said, I would hate to see the SCOTUS issue become an arms race. Electoral college change would require amending the constitution, or getting enough states to agree to allocate their votes to the winner of the popular vote. I think the latter seems more likely.

While I generally agree there are over 60 anti gay and many anti ACA EO's he can over turn.

Nothing is off the table now.

When we re-take the Senate, we can move to alter the composition of the Supreme Court and set in motion our initiative to reform the Electoral College.

There will be no "arms race" if the GOP never wins another national election.
