I want a full scale RICO investigation of the GOP and their connections to Putin. Merrick - call it a career. I want to see true freedom of religion that takes down Christian nationalism. Boost the Supreme Court with more Justices that have normal political ideology.

I want an investigation on how Jared Kutcher got $3.7BB dollars from the Saudis and Qater. And where was it invested? You want Nepotism? This is where it resides.

Supercharge our commitment to NATO and Ukraine. Stand the fuck up to China and their attempted takeover of Taiwan. (Been there a few times...not exactly a progressive culture, lot of dickheads there, but still a democracy we need to support.) Emasculate the NK Clown Prince.

Tell Netanyahu and the rest of the RW zealots that infest the Knessett....US is supporting a Palestinian State. Not sure how the Gaza Strip and the West Bank gets tied together, but the current state of reality is not tenable. What are you going to do about it?

This would be a great 2025 plan. Come out swinging and make the change that the world deserves.

[Seeking Serenity]

1. Go after the Repub Party and all of its members

The same way we did against the Mob. Because organised crime they are. Mark them as a criminal gang, freedom of association be damned.

We have to be rid of them once and for all

[SleeplessinSoCal]

19. It would be a good look for the charges be filed by Romney and others....

.... driven from their own party.

[spanone]

2. K&R

[blm]

3. Me, too.

[dweller]

4. I want to see

SCOTUS expanded to 13 in my lifetime



✌🏻

[jayzee]

34. Yes ,yes

The first year of Biden’s second term

[brush]

35. While we're at it, how about getting rid of the Electoral College bs...

and have the people's votes determine who wins the presidency?

And dump the filibuster in the Senate too which makes it always a minority-rule body. And they have the nerve to call it the world's greatest deliberative body...yeah, all the way back to when southern senators put in the bs filibuster rule (not in the Constitution btw) so they could always get their way.

[ITAL]

38. The odds of getting enough votes to end the EC are super low

Given it would need a Constitutional Amendment, you need 2 thirds support in both Houses of Congress and then three quarters of State legislatures to approve.

[brush]

39. Well isn't this OP about a wish-list, of which the odds against are high on eveything on it?

[ITAL]

40. Not THAT high

The rest of the list is high, but not impossibly so IMHO.

[brush]

41. You think expanding SCOTUS will be any easier?

[ITAL]

42. Than a constitutional amendment?

Yes. Even if you keep the filibuster it only needs 60 votes in the Senate. A constitutional amendment would need 67 plus another two thirds of the House (how often does that ever happen?) plus 34 State legislatures (when Republicans have the majority of them 28 to 20 with two that are split) to approve.

[brush]

43. And considering the stakes, you think the republicans are just going to go along?

Nah.

[ITAL]

45. That's my point

A Constitutional Amendment to get rid of the EC is way tougher than the rest.

[vercetti2021]

5. I want to see

SCOTUS expanded, John Lewis voting rights passed, Roe codified, LGBTQ protections added to the civil rights bill so we can end this war on trans people for goddamn good. And then raise taxes on the 1% by 90%

[ecstatic]

22. Yep. And police reform. I disagree on the tax thing

We need some rich folks on our side. Really, it's the mega corps that need to be reined in.

[OAITW r.2.0]

32. The same people who think Trump is our Nation's answer.....

are the same ones who know fuck-all about fuck-all.

[kimbutgar]

6. And go after them for their Russian money influencers

No member of our government should ever take money from any Russian citizen!

Russia is our enemy and they are not America’s friend or ally!

[AKwannabe]

29. Russia IS

Our enemy!
Yes they are and always have been. FFS!

[PSPS]

7. Sorry, but the senate is hard-coded to be minority rule. Nothing short of 61 seats will suffice.

And 66 for any punitive action.

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. Not if we get serious on change that saves our democracy.

Criminal indictments could address the current political reality.

[Seeking Serenity]

10. Fill the jails, for sure

[OAITW r.2.0]

16. Not looking to increase the Correctional Industry Complex influence in our Country.

But I'd replace a spot for spot petty criminals who smoked a joint or did something stupid with a person who tried to kill our democracy,

[Polybius]

26. You do realize that 60 seats is impossible in 2024, right?

Even if we do amazingly well, WV is a loss right off the bat (and that brings us down to 50), but picking up Texas and Florida would give us 52 seats. That's a best-case scenario.

[MichMan]

31. If the plan in Post #1 was implemented, we would have nearly all 100 seats

[OAITW r.2.0]

37. Just fair elections and let's see how democracy works, when we consider a lot of diverse voices..

[JT45242]

11. Filibuster is bullshit...

Make them talk all night for weeks not just perfunctory bs.

[Mr.Bill]

13. Get rid of the filibuster.

Get rid of any rule in either house of Congress that allows one person to stop something from being voted on or otherwise proceding.

Establish rules for Congress to be in session for a minimum amount of days every year.

[OAITW r.2.0]

14. 2 weeks of vacation every year....just like normal Americans.

Unfair? Give everyone more time to enjoy family and time away from the job.

Re filibuster, fuck that, change the organizing rules that address your point and add more Justices to counter the packing of the Court by a minority Party.

[MichMan]

23. According to Post #1 that would no longer be a concern

[et tu]

9. all great ideas

now let's win- great big blue tsunami!!!!

[TeamProg]

12. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[SharonClark]

15. I'm with you!

[Wednesdays]

17. It all could become reality...

IF we work like hell the next eight months! (See my sig line.)

[Bev54]

18. I want the filibuster gone and the supreme court increased to 13 judges

[patphil]

20. I agree. There's a lot that needs to be done to bring America back from the brink.

It's a daunting task, but we need to move forward on a whole lot of issues that are threatening our Democratic Republic.
Replacing AG Garland with someone who will be all in on pursuing these issues is an important start.
As far as the SC is concerned, those justices who have been receiving huge gifts need to be removed. These are payoffs for their judgments on RW issues, and should be treated as bribes.
Not only should these justices be investigated, but Harlan Crowe and Leonard Leo should also be investigated as engaging in bribery.

[brush]

36. Absolutely on the SCOTUS bribe takers and bribers.

[ecstatic]

21. If we have the votes, we need to outright expel the mofos

from Congress. I don't care about the optics at this point. Traitors have to be taken very seriously or they poison the well. The assholes who have put greed and corruption ahead of the country need to go.

[OAITW r.2.0]

27. We've delayed it since Nixon was pardoned.

Remember, it was a Nixon authorized break-in on the Democratic headquarters,,,,almost seems quaint these days. Which sends a signal that you are free to do fucked up things, We let Reagan off. We let W. off, so far we have let Trump off. Where's the fucking line where we say enough?

[stollen]

24. I'd like a more pro-actice Dept of Justice

Does Pete Buttigieg have any siblings that dabble in law?

[Polybius]

25. I doubt we'll see a hat trick

At best, we win two out of three. Sucks that we're losing Manchin's seat.

[AKwannabe]

28. Wowsers!

Reading my mind???
Uuuuuf Daaaa!

[Uncle Joe]

30. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread OAITW

[brush]

33. I'm with you.

[Sky Jewels]

44. Get rid of Wray and DeJoy too, in addition to Milquetoast Merrick
