We need a Bernie apprentice. It could be AOC but I think we've seen it's going to be pretty difficult to elect a woman President for a while

I think we are going to need a whole new constitution soon. New courts, new legislature. New processes. New institutions

Everything is built to MAGA's benefit. It's too easy to consolidate power

We need proportional representation

We need a whole new method to select judges

We need to replace the executive with a suite of constitutional officers (many states do this already)

We need federal direct ballot initiatives for any restrictions of human rights or controversial topics

You can say what we "need" and list things that will never happen if you want too, but the rest of us are going to keep it relevant to the real world. I mean really, sorry to be a dick bit do you know how hard it is to change the constitution? You're pretty much saying Dems have to go full dictator and wield power with an irl fist to create a new country in effect.

The constitution isn't the problem. The problem is conservative justices that get lavish vacations to interpret the constitution a certain way, and right wing media that brainwashes their voted with an echo chamber

How do we work in the current framework and do any of that? We can't get rid of the conservative justices under the current framework
