which includes expanding SCOTUS, and a POTUS willing to sign it. And as far as that legislation goes, it basically means 50+ Senators willing to nuke the legislative filibuster.

We need Democrats who are hardasses willing to fight fire with fire.

Otherwise we can just roll over and die under the boot of the billionaires and their (hired and un-hired) goons.
