5. we will need a 2/3rd majority in the Senate

if that means statehood for Puerto Rico and DC, then we need to do that.

Because....we can undo everything Trump and repukes have done via executive order or even through passed legislation.

But we can't undo the court appointments UNLESS we impeach every one of the people they have put in the courts. We need to ignore any rationale for the impeachment and simply impeach and convict based on the fact that Trump stole the election in 2016.

Fortunately, the pandemic has shown us a path to doing this.

I, and some 14,000 of my fellow employees, have been WFH since Feb... we could be anywhere in the world... and a great number of us live in very very Blue states....

So the plan is to move to swing states... upper midwest, Iowa, Arizona, Florida, NC, possibly Texas... that could mean a pickup of 16 Senators with under a half million people moving. We could also pick up Senate seats in very low population states like Wyoming and Alaska.

Over the next 4 to 6 years we could dominate the right by erasing the popular vote in enough states to undo the injustice foisted on us by founding fathers that never imagined the disparity between states like California and Wyoming.

Radical... yeah... but we need to do it and is less visible than expanding the number of seats on SCOTUS... plus it is the lower courts that we need to clean house.
