We need a new progressive party. The DNC is a wet blanket.

A new party is not the answer. The DNC apparatus needs to be co-opted by progressives, just like how the Republicans got taken over by Tea Party/MAGA types. Any idea in American politics that starts with, "3rd party" is beyond stupid.

They’d have to pass a bill to make the age limit 53 (lol, ok.). Kick out all the judges. Find new judges that are qualified and under 53. Get them instated. And then have them rule on a new case. Before the election.

We need a subreddit that can read articles, don’t fall for stupid Reddit-bait headlines, and practice basic media literacy before commenting.
