In Which We Brainstorm About Ruthless Political Moves Democrats Will Never Make

This is one of my favorite thought exercises. Stuff like drug testing CEOs for corporate welfare, punitive private aviation taxes, automatic felon voter registration upon release, Election Day as a national holiday, etc.

Medicare for all…

Equal justice for all

Preventing verifiable lies from being told on the congress floor.

This isn’t about what we should do with power… it’s more about how we could get it by finally admitting to ourselves that the gop has been right about the nuts and bolts of political operations for the last thirty years and we have been wrong. Any route to getting back the semi functional government of the now distant past is basically going to require us to kill the gop as a political party.

We need to disenfranchise their voters, rig the system, and generally get a lot less nice. We need to stop thinking about the way the world should be and think about how it really is… so that we can get the better world that’s actually possible.

Drug testing as a requirement to hold elected office.

Life imprisonments for Congress people who commit insider trading based on their information on pending legislation

Get nastier! Stuff that will actually help us get and hold power, not policy stuff we would do if we were in charge.

Gerrymander the ever loving shit out of every blue state.

Refuse to appropriate a single dollar for anything until Merrick Garland is on the Supreme Court

I stand by disenfranchising their core voters. The best part about it is that assuming we use the same legal pathways they did they can’t attack us in the courts without undoing their own cheating.

And obviously we should gerrymander the everliving shit out of every blue state.
