Republicans promised to overturn Roe v Wade, and they have.

Democrats can either abolish the filibuster and expand the court, or do nothing as millions of peoples’ bodies, rights, and lives are sacrificed for far-right minority rule.

This shouldn’t be a difficult decision.

By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court just allowed Texas to enforce a law that prohibits abortions after six weeks, with no exception for rape or incest. Roe v. Wade is, functionally, overturned. Justice Sotomayor all but says it.

1. Just Accept The Fact That Neither Will Happen

They're NOT going to get rid of the filibuster.

They're NOT going to expand the court.

Time to figure out some other way, or accept that we're Fucked.

I'm tired of focusing or trying to achieve things that are impossible. It's a complete waste of time and energy, and gets people's hopes up.

2. Agreed, we need to deal in reality.

The filibuster is staying, the court is staying at 9 justices. With that reality, Dems on the ground have to decide what to do next.
