Hopefully, not a shooting one, but it's going to take more than half-measures.
It's going to take more than a 20 seat majority in the House and 51 Senators, with Fetterman as the "swing" Senator.
In the United States that I love, this shitshow would result in the Retrumplicans losing 375 House seats and 75 Senate seats.
It's going to take a majority like that to enact the kind of reforms and judicial accountability required.
It will take that kind of majority, because a great deal of these fucksticks need to be in The Hague and federal prisons....and I am not just talking about the Secretary of (War), FBI Director, AG, President, VP, CJCS, Secretaries of EVERY military branch, and all members of the Joint Chiefs and their staffs.
Military leaders and members that purposefully bombed civilians need to be prosecuted.
Start with the CO, XO, Weapons Officer and Torpedoman that sunk that "combatant" ship off the coast of Sri Lanka.
I understand that "may" be a valid target in a war, but we fucking offered no fucking assistance to the survivors???? That's Nazi Germany/Imperial Japan type shit!
If you have the capacity to do that...to let even your "enemies" helplessly drown at sea...you're not a "warfighter", you're a fucking monster!

(3,456 posts)Thats not going to happen just as the needed reforms arent going to happen; most, if not all, requiring amending the Constitution, which will likewise not happen.

(22,852 posts)Just elect D majorities in house and senate willing to kill the filibuster and expand the court, then ram through bill after bill repairing the damage from the Trump era for the next Dem president to sign.
The key is the quality of Dems, not quantity

ZERO rec's. Activists on fire here!!!!
A grassroots revolution is needed for the party to win.

8 REC"'S. A LANDSLIDE!
Until the party stands for working people, so strongly that it overrides the racist bullshit from the other side.
It will be, we will be, "more of the same".
You can't change "hearts and minds". But you can outnumber them.

And where are the most votes? With working slobs (and retirees).
Just win, Baby,
Activate the vast majority of voters.
Bernie and AOC are leading the way with the real economic message:
EAT THE RICH.

Or get one of them Kanamit space creatures to do so.
These people won by activating the good in people, not the rich.
