I don't want to sound too patronizing! If you want to create the public support for a future Dem trifecta to term-limit the court or expand it, go ahead. The dream Dem scenario for 2025 is another 51-49 Senate - GOP picks up WV, Allred beats Cruz, no other flips.

Creating public support for dramatic change is exactly what most people posting about this stuff want and is also exactly the thing elected democrats are unwilling/unable to do. But it's where we MUST start

Like the GOP built public support for overturning Roe? That’s not how this works. We need to create pub support for something popular & visceral like “hang scam robocall barons by their ankles and beat them with whiffle bats” and then you send emails on that while you do the other thing on the DL.

Term limits on the court would require a constitutional amendment. Dem trifecta won't cut it, need that plus Dem state.

Spoken: “If you want to create the public support for a future Dem trifecta to term-limit the Court or expand it, go ahead.” Unspoken: “But I won’t support you or help you, because that’s a lot of long term work and I will focus on the next election, forever.” — This is also Dem Party philosophy.

Dave Weigel taking the bold stance that people should merely build support for things without ever saying them, joining basically every democratic official.

Democrats are certain to lose W. Virginia, almost certain to lose Montana & Ohio

If you had looked at the polls in Texas, Cruz is almost certainly going to win.

This is not a good year for Democrats are defending 23 seats Republicans 11

Several others.
