Can’t wait for the future when the democrats destroy the senate and the Supreme Court. Surely it’s wise to destroy the constitution because republicans have done slightly better among some small states relative to large states for a few election cycles? Heck, the ten smallest states have more democratic senators than republicans senators 12-8 while the largest 10 states are split 10-10.

Why should a party's success matter when it comes to doing the right thing? That's the difference between Democrats and Republicans. You guys only view things from a perspective of power. "Oh, the Senate was more Democratic than the House since 1994". I don't care. The Senate is an anti-democratic institution by it's very nature and should not have more power than the House of Representatives.

Unfortunately, conservative old-timers on Atlas like Dei Tachi and I have noticed a rather strong correlation between how morally imperative much of Atlas thinks it is to reform government, and how beneficial said reform would be to the Democrats' near-term prospects.

That's not to impugn your motives, but I understand where Dei Tachi's cynicism is coming from.

The Democratic position on abortion (legal up until the moment of birth, publicly funded), gets 10-15% support. How is that moderate?

Source?



I couldn't find any polling on abortion up until birth specifically, but polling on third trimester abortions is a decent proxy.
