It is time for Democrats to really save democracy- which they missed under Obama and under Biden. 1) dump the filabuster 2) enlarge the USSupreme Court 3) expand the federal court system 4) statehood for D.C., Puerto Rico, and the American Virgin Islands 5) pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and what used to be called the Pelosi Voting Rights Act. We can't get that done until 2028. In the meantime the state Democrats have got to wake up and combine their local elections with the even year midterm elections which will boost voter turnout, save millions of tax dollars- needed to make up for Trump cuts to food, etc for the poor, and results in more women and more minorities being elected to local offices (due to increased voter turnout). The Democrats in blue states and those states they win in 2026 and 2028 must enact universal vote by mail with a provision of at least one polling place per county for those who need to vote in person or who want to vote in person. I have hope but doubt Dems will do anything, the states are doing nothing so far.
