I can live with Biden saying he isn't going to talk about that now, but I can't accept surrendering the court. If the Dems refuse to deal with the obstacles to majority rule, they'll fail to accomplish anything, which will lead to losses in 22 and 24, and we'll be dealing with someone who is as authritarian as Trump, but is also smart and a hard worker.

They don't get a do over if cooperation doesn't work. The courts are going to strike down legislation and I bet they're going to fuck with redistricting and the census to lock in GOP gerrymandering for another decade. The Senate is on track to have 50% of the population represented by 16 Senators by as early as 2030. Refusing to be radical in regards to anti-democratic elements of the system can't be the startegy.
