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 away is so far. That's not even close.

    Only 13 away????

    What fucking planet are these guys on?

    They couldn't even have a supermajority in the Senate while the republicans were worshiping a giant bloated puss filled orange monster.

  • Talking about and increasing awareness of the NPVIC would be more useful and realistic, to be perfectly blunt.

    In what world would the dems amdend it in a positive way for the citizens. They would absolutely do it for the select few but absolutely not for the general public

    *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.

    Keep in mind that the Republicans have 28 right now. That's about to decrease because of the recent election, but they will return just like they always do, and maybe get the ability to push through amendments of their own. Do you have any particular amendments in mind?

    They could have 100% and wouldn't do anything to fundamentally benefit the working class. From their inception, their role has been to garner working class support for their capitalist interests.
