Trump judges are going to twist our country for decades.

This is a fight we must begin- fixing the courts.

1. If people want things to change,

they MUST take the Senate races more seriously & start voting regularly in Non-Presidential elections.

3. Yes! And commit to making DC a state

And offer statehood to PR.
And abolish the filibuster.
And then roll back Cit United.
And investigate Kavanaugh.

And I’d go further: since the Trump judges are appointed by an illegitimate president who stole his election, they’re also illegitimate. Dems should impeach the Trump judges. It’s a moral imperative— otherwise we will be encouraging the GOP to cheat again. And since impeachment is Constitutionallly hard, let’s do the next best thing: create two slots to fill with real judges for every Trump judge. That can be done with simple majority in House and Senate.

7. Yeah, and none of those things will happen without voting

No committment, no investigation, no rollbacks, no nothing without votes for those willing (and empowered) to do them.

8. Yes. Vote. Canvass. Win. Then do all those things :)

9. Yes. :)

2. Just wait until their state and local tax bills skyrocket, for education, from the increased births.

.

Each kid born above the normal stasis will add $320K or more to the local tax structure for the next 18 years.

This will add to the proletariat--one one that will eventually overthrow the bourgeoisie.

4. Personally I'd like to avoid another civil war

Or an American Cultural Revolution.


Better would be for all patriotic Americans today to focus on the Senate and the courts. We can fix this.

5. Also Republicans want to destroy public education.

There is only one choice: fight the rightwing oligarchs who control the GOP.

10. +1000 to all.

There are 300,000,000 of us and 70,000 ultrawealthy families, only some of whom are RW and actually wanted to be kleptocrats. Before we even get the power to put the regulatory leash back on, very good news for us is that the CEOs of major corporations who make up of the Business Roundtable have issued a whole new definition of purpose for corporations.

Inc.com: 181 CEOs of the Largest U.S. Corporations Just Altered the Role of Corporations for Decades to Come: Imagine getting the CEOs of the largest corporations to agree on something. Well, it just happened, and it's going to change the very purpose of 21st-century corporations.

... The Roundtable periodically issues these statements, which they term "Statements on the Purpose of a Corporation." They act as a compass for CEOs setting organizational
priorities. Shareholders are no longer first -- or second.

Each version of the document since 1997 has endorsed what is called the principle of "shareholder primacy," meaning that corporations exist principally to serve shareholders. That trajectory has come under increasing scrutiny of late, as has the relentless focus on quarterly performance and its inevitable tie to CEO compensation incentives.

... On August 19th, the Roundtable issued a new statement that is nothing short of radical in its near unanimous endorsement by 181 of its 193 members. The statement supersedes all previous statements and outlines a modern standard for corporate responsibility, which focuses on stakeholders rather than shareholders.

In fact, on its own website, the Roundtable lists customer, employee, supplier, and community responsibility above shareholder responsibility. ...

It's just a start, but one that's already happened, something business leaders did all by themselves, and a very promising one.

11. Yes

It is a good sign but I worry it’s just preemptive action to avoid real regulation with teeth. But yes I agree it’s a good sign.

12. :) The Republicans are right that we're the regulatory

people. Can't run away from our long history or our nature. Given the power, we'll always pass laws to keep the powerful from hurting the nation and those less powerful -- as events prove their necessity.
