If the Dems win the presidency, which they are very likely to do, and win the Senate, which they are very likely to do, then they will have a series of decisions to make. And the GOP has made it absolutely crystal clear yet again tonight what happens if they choose poorly.
All the Dems need to do in 2021 is to embrace and protect democracy. That's it. If they do that, the voters will do the rest. If they fail to do that, the collapse of the system will soon be complete.
There's a lot of people in my mentions saying "what makes you think the Dems will do the right thing?" But I didn't predict that they'll do the right thing. I predicted what will happen if they don't.
Will they do the right thing? I don't know. But every seat they win in the Senate makes it more likely they will, because it makes it one vote easier to get to fifty.
And if DC statehood happens, that makes the rest of it more likely still, because it make getting to a majority that much easier.
And so on and so on. Every victory makes the next victory easier. And it starts with winning the presidency and winning the Senate.
