This is why the dems have got to kill the filibuster, add DC and PR as states, and expand to the House by at least 100 seats. Expanding the House fixes the massive minority rule in the House and helps with the EC problem a lot.
Dems, however, won't play the game, won't pass any meaningful safe guards for democracy and we'll be fucked in 22 and 24.
I think you're right if the Democrats continue trying to play the game like they did 2009-2010, "reaching out" to a party that is looking to lash out if given the opportunity.
Me, my personal shit-tier opinion: as a party, first bill, $10,000 to every US Adult, no means testing. Costs 1.8T, which is 1/4 of what's already been spent, and is, as of now, slightly LESS than the $1.9T bill they're pushing out.
First bill, one fucking page long, gives every US Adult $10,000. Not a loser in sight, and everything is alright...or at least better than it is right this second.
Second bill, $1T to States, cities, localities, First Responders, Hospitals, etc.
Then start working towards fixing everything else that's been broken for the past god damn 20 years.
But, the Democrats probably won't have the balls to do any of the first 2 that are NECESSARY, nevermind being sufficient, to saving this country as a functioning country capable of solving obvious problems that have obvious solutions.
