Win the presidency and have 51 senate seats and you can do whatever you want.

They did that before, did very little, and then claimed GOP obstruction was to blame. GOP is just far better at accomplishing their goals. It's really unfortunate, but I don't see that changing this time either.

If you still think the Democrats are going to do anything like pack the courts and or abolish the filibuster, you are fucking delusional. They've known about this inevitable push through for months and have still not offered any concrete plans to push back after it would be done.

I'm right there with you in terms of frustration towards democrats being ineffective, but what more could they do? They have no power in the current set up. Idk maybe there was an avenue they didn't explore, but nothing comes to my mind.

I can feel myself being radicalized a little more every day by the actions of the GOP, and it's a terrifying feeling. I'm thinking thoughts that I wouldn't have dreamed of thinking before, and it's getting harder and harder to keep myself from just saying them outright.

Find a way to direct those feelings into action that gets people elected. It could be halfway across the country (like eradicating the Republican Party from Oklahoma or South Carolina), or electing a Senator in Alaska or Arizona. Just watching videos and tweeting stirs up people to care about that candidate.

What do you think BLM is? Groups of people, black, white, brown, yellow, red who are just marching and picketing against the police.

Republicans had their own group in 2010-2014, called the Tea Party.

Packing the courts has polled poorly. If this was 100% Biden's intent, I don't see what he gains by committing to doing it. Especially when there's no guarantee he'll have the seats in Congress to actually do it. Elections are decided by swing voters in the end. Court packing appeals mostly to people already committed to the left imo.

These are the separate polls about expanding the Court:

Radicalized to what though? If it's towards the Democrats then you should probably realize they are no better. They have zero integrity just like the GOP. They get power and they abuse it as much as they can every time, it's the way of the US Government and the cycle we keep bouncing back and forth with.

Ask yourselves why none of these loopholes and rules they whine about so much when the GOP abuses them never get fixed when the Democrats control everything. Because they want to use them as well when it's their "turn."

they had a majority during the first two years of obama right? and they did nothing with it. how wasteful and stupid.
They had a supermajority for an effective period of about 6 months from September 2009 to February 2010. They used that time to pass the ACA.

The original post suggested you just need a simple majority, which makes sense since the GOP has been doing a lot, including this, with a simply majority in just the Senate. Democrats don't play the game to win and they absolutely need to be called out on it or it isn't going to change. It's such a joke how willing they are to just give up and give in.
