Yes I understand about DC that is why I said no one ever said they wanted to make DC a state.
If the vote was 61% to 54% voter participation must have been extremely high, unless multiple voting is a thing.

This means.
If I win and get the senate then court packing is on.
If not I have no way to and will say I am not.

Third world ****holes like Venezuela have packed their court.


And this is what liberals want - to turn American into a banana republic, like Venezuela.


It's shocking that Leftists have gotten so far off the rails, but here we are.

I am worried but hopefully one or two Democratic senators will defect. Heck, I am a liberal Democrat opposed to court packing.

I've heard Manchin will oppose court-packing. Even the farthest of far Leftists, RBG opposed court packing. That is how far off the rails left-wing the Democrats are now.

Hopefully in for a derailment. I'm a far-left Democrat but not that far left.

We need to defuse the tensions in the country.

No court packing and Trump should really willingly step down too.

Blue dog democrat. He is like the last one on the planet.

He just might go down as the person who saved this nation from utter tyranny (though legalizing 22 million illegals and giving PR and DC statehood would be quite tyrannical, if he supports that).
