Democrats won control of 25 state legislatures in the midterms. They are only 13 away from potentially being able to amend the US Constitution. This has already been done with the 21st amendment in 1933. They would need 38 state legislatures to ratify the amendment.

*13 seats, several rotating villains, and one parliamentatian. The Senate continues to honor the filibuster supermajority rule because they don’t actually want to pass anything that the working class wants and the capitalist class doesn’t.
