pragmatic progressive, New Deal supporter, FDR fan, my goal here is guiding progressives into successfully implementing their agenda

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

The thing about this big new deal size/style economic agenda that progressives are advocating for is that it isn’t as simple as get a trifecta and let’s implement these policies

It’s a very complex process with a lot of moving parts to this

This is going to take time

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

Also what the hell is going on with the royal family

[U.S. Senator John Fetterman @SenFettermanPA]

Israel has the right to fully engage Hamas to its end.

Hamas deliberately harms and hides behind civilians, not Israel.

Until Hamas surrenders, frees the hostages, and ends this humanitarian tragedy, I do not support any conditions.

BTW on the off chance that democrats keep the the senate next congress and have another D trifecta the chances of democrats nuking or reforming the filibuster are remote

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

If he wins Florida that POTENTIALLY means democrats could be able to keep the senate

IF and this is a BIG if he’s right democrats could keep the senate “if” a candidate is able to run against Scott

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

They need new deal era size trifectas to actually implement all of this

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

@paolo_lim Spoiler: if you think swing voters have already decided you’re honestly a moron and should just stop now.

They ALWAYS decide late

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

I wouldn’t be so cocky because there’s a decent chance that a majority of undecided voters will vote for the incumbent ie Biden

[Notorious ACB @ozymandiasBrBa]

It’s so ironic that Biden was the only candidate in 2020 that could have beaten Trump, but now in 2024, Biden is the only candidate that can lose to Trump

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

I think progressives need to stop thinking “okay how do we expand SCOTUS” and instead focus on something more gradual for example if SCOTUS makes a mistake or rules something that is constitutional unconstitutional or vice versa is there a remedy that can be fixed via congress

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

The most realistic and practical solution to reforming SCOTUS is the same approach that Lincoln used to abolish slavery in that he didn’t automatically say okay I support a bill that bans slavery instead he supported gradual changes

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

Wait until democrats allow red states to reinstate Jim Crow era laws

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

@G4M3R_R4G3 There’s a solution to this SCOTUS issue and that is to expand SCOTUS and put non partisan judges into those seats

Obviously the GOP will still be against this but it’s the most likely way to fix this issue

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

Wait until democrats allow red states to reinstate Jim Crow era laws

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

Does this dude realize that if democrats somehow were able to expand SCOTUS and make it a liberal SCOTUS he and other African Americans would have to deal with racial segregation and discrimination at levels not seen since before the civil rights movement

[The Nation @thenation]

Biden has promised to “restore Roe” if re-elected. He’s also refused even to consider expanding the Supreme Court. That’s a problem, writes @ElieNYC, because you can’t be for abortion rights but against court expansion anymore. The two are now linked.

This is the thing that matters because it indicates to me that if democrats come home Biden wins reelection

[Political Polls @Politics_Polls]

2024 National GE:

A Democrat other then Biden 44% (+6)
Donald Trump 38%

This aged well

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

My guess is that this game goes to overtime

3/ The fault of the GOP for the era of economic inequality and income inequality to end

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

1/ These things take time to gain steam

1. it took about six decades between when the issue of slavery emerged to the election of Lincoln the Civil War and the reconstruction era to abolish slavery

2. It took about seven decades between when the issue of the robber barons

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

@gtjco Yep but remember this is going to take time it’s probably going to require an enormous crisis on the fault of the GOP for Democrats to get the kind of power needed to be able to fix this

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

2/ Emerged to the Great Depression to the election of FDR and the new deal era to end the era of the robber barons

It’s going to take another 20-30 maybe even 40 years for this issue to be resolved

Remember it’s going to take decades of debate then an existential crisis on

[benjamin (keep the filibuster) hatcher @benjaminhatche1]

Do that and other red states secede and democrats will reconstruction era size trifectas and control 80% of the state legislatures for the next decade

They’ll dominate politics for the next 70 years

If that happens
