(21,652 posts)i am very much hopeful for a Dem congress and president in 2021.
there is much to be done but i hope someday, when the investigations into drumpf and company are done, the russia links are exposed, and we prove once and for all who the true criminals are.... that Congress and the president can pass/sign a resolution declaring that the 2016 election was undermined by Russia and drumpf and that Clinton would have fairly won a legitimate election.
it would of course only be symbolic, nothing can overturn it now, but i would like history to officially show that the drumpf presidency was an ill gotten fraud and that Clinton, on a fair and level playing field, would have won both the popular vote AND electoral college.

Hello, New York Times. I am still waiting for an apology.

(17,990 posts)I hear she's one hell of a Sec State. Maybe what we need to start cleaning up the complete disaster in US / foreign relations. Or...fill RBG's SCOTUS seat if Ginsberg is ready to step down. Counting chickens, I know, but I've been knocking on wood with one hand while typing this with the other.

(11 posts)If we are fortunate enough to elect a Democrat and avoid total meltdown, any vacancy needs to be filled by the youngest appropriate candidates so we won't be constantly stressed out regarding the health of senior justices the next time a conservative is elected. And, that will happen, regardless of how badly things go with the current fool in the White House. Naming a 73 or 74 year old would be crazy.
Many said the GOP was dead after Goldwater, then again after Watergate. Too many people are still susceptible to the propaganda.
In a perfect world, perhaps we can get two terms of a Democrat and five new progressive justices in their late 30s to mid 40s. I know that's really pushing it, but I can dream! If we have a liberal President and a Senate majority, I would hope that any progressive justice over 60 would retire and give the nation a chance to have a stable progressive majority on the court for decades.

Thank you Bill and Hillary Clinton for your service and your tireless efforts to help others.
The KGOP, on the other hand. We can all see what they're about, the evil they are all about.
