Democrats currently have a single issue offered to them on a silver platter, against which Republicans are defenseless, one that would catalyze majority buy-in on the need to expand not just SCOTUS but other federal courts, and one that is clearly most pressing: Voting. 1/
Nothing is going to happen without voting modernization and liberalization. No climate policy, no health care, no gun control. Everything is downstream of voting. And it's obvious the @GOP has already made voting their own number one issue: that is, voting suppression. 2/
Perhaps there isn't clarity on how obvious this is, how voting should be the Democratic party's spearhead, because leadership is endlessly lost in the "complexity" of all the things voters and the party cares about. Look at the time wasted already on court expansion... 3/
Notice how the question of expanding SCOTUS or lower courts is already bogged down in fear of voter reaction, agitation of the GOP, and myriad other unnamed uncertainties which reliably prevent the Democratic party from taking action--or better, from waging confident war. 4/
Democratic Party Habitually Unable to Choose an Issue Which it's Willing to Die For ----> meet Voting Rights and Voting Modernization. You can run your sword through the @GOP on this one. At best, 20% of the country is willing declare openly its against democracy. /5
The proposition is ridiculously simple: The Democratic Party is going to war to modernize voting, and expand voting rights, and any court that gets in its way will be subject to expansion, from SCOTUS on down. Many things are hard. This isn't. 6/
