A 6-Year Plan for Democrats

It's 2018. We have a very good chance to win a majority in the House this year, and a slimmer chance to do the same in the Senate. We need to plan farther ahead, though, if we hope to reverse the damage done by Trump and the current Congress. So, here's my six-year plan to do just that.

2018 - We work our asses off and GOTV to regain majority control of the House. With that, we can do a lot to block Trump's legislative plans. If possible, we get a slim majority in the Senate, as well.

2020 - Dump Trump year. In that election year, we need to elect a Democrat to the White House. We can do it, because Trump will either already be gone, or will have screwed things up beyond all recovery. In the same year, we increase our majority in the House and add a few Democratic Senators to increase our small majority there.

2022 - This is the year we get a 2/3 majority in the Senate, while increasing our House majority even further. With a Democratic President, we can undo almost all the damage done by Trump, except for the Supreme Court. The President will already have nominated and have confirmed at least one SCOTUS justice by the end of 2022.

2024 - We reelect our Democratic President for a second term, and solidify both our House and Senate majorities. With the retirement or passing of at least one Republican SCOTUS justice, we regain a majority on the SCOTUS and begin undoing the damage the conservative SCOTUS did.

Through those six years, we also get back control of some state legislatures, due to the high Democratic turnouts and elect more Democratic Governors. The continuing rise of the power of Millennials, Generation Next, and our increasing number of citizens of color, along with a demographic shift to a younger electorate, should make it possible to finally push the conservative Republicans, dominionists, and other right-wing factions into a minority position once and for all.

The key to this plan? A powerful GOTV effort enabled by unification of Democrats to achieve those goals. We can do it if we have the will to do it. Yes We Can!

No primitive comments yet.

But to me, it appears Minnesota Moses has no idea, no idea at all, what happened in November 2016. 

Change is hard, if not impossible, to undo.  Too bad for the primitives.

Oh, geez. I was just going to post that. I was thinking about this for a title: "Moses Fantasizes."

I think it is becoming likelier that Trump will get a second term, RBG will either die or have a major malfunction (depending on whether you believe she is human or an animatronic justice), the snowflakes will all melt out of despair, and the economy will continue to go full steam ahead, thereaby ensuring that the R's get a second wind.

Who dropped acid into his ?

The old saying "Hope is not a plan."

He should have started his "6 year plan" with "First, we all get unicorns."

It would be just as believable.

Have you not heard, Moses?  They're leaving your plantation in droves.  The batshit violent behavior is driving everyone else away.  You don't give insane people keys to power. 

[Ogre]

I didn't know he wrote fiction.  Note DUmmies, a very good economy and tax breaks to boot is a winning combination your party will not be able to overcome, no matter how much you wish it.

If he has heard, he probably dismissed it as a disinformation campaign.

Yet any time dumbocrats reveal what they actually believe and want to do they get thrown out of office at the next election.

Assuming the Cave remains active for the next 6 years and nothing happens to the archive, 6 years from now when we are coming to the end of Trump's 2nd term we will look back at laugh at how wrong MM was.

Seems to take a hard turn from "Possible" into "Wildly improbable" at about 2022.

It's 2018. We have a very good chance to win a majority in the House this year,

Definately, you need to hit the streets, riot, burn cars, break windows and have mad maxine go on ranting. that will ensure you a win.

Rockhead should remember the old adage that goes...

"Wish in one hand and shit in the other.  See which hand fills up first"

Definately, you need to hit the streets, riot, burn cars, break windows and have mad maxine go on ranting. that will ensure you a win.

Crapping on cop cars will make it a landslide.

>We can do it if we have the will to do it. Yes We Can!

When you've fallen on the highway
And you're lying in the rain,
And they ask you how you're doing
Of course you'll say you can't complain
If you're squeezed for information,
That's when you've got to play it dumb
You just say you're out there waiting
For the miracle, for the miracle to come

Please work your ass off it, will make it easier, less messy, for us to hand it back to you on a paper plate.

But seriously, how do the bulk of the DUmmies think that their irrational screaming and hissing will motivate thinking people who oddly enough like this country to vote for democrats/commies?

[GOP Congress]

2018 Democrats routed in Senate, lose four, maybe five seats after all 49 vote against Supreme Court justice. Collins, only GOP senator to vote against pick, gets major primary challenger for 2020, while Doug Jones has to go up against a REAL GOP opponent that doesn't have kiddie diddling issues (even if "legal" in Alabama).  They also don't gain any seats other than a few California flippers and one Pennsylvania de-gerrymandered district.
2020 Trump runs on a hugely solid economy. After a couple of false starts, Kim Jong Un falls into line and is well into denuclearization of North Korea, and the war is officially declared over by US, South Korea, North Korea, with Japan, China, and Russian delegates watching on to give Trump's big foreign victory. The GOP senate holds serve and maintains a 54 or 55 GOP senator to 45 to 46 Dem/Independent caucus, and Trump wins 38 states in a route of Kamala Harris.
2022 More winning. Not only is the wall built, there is a comprehensive immigration reform that has finally been hammered out that will allow MORE immigrants in, but ONLY if they are vetted. They will be more likely to have conservative values and not live on the dole like DACA and dreamers and whatnot. Iran is now completely denuclearized, and their government is transformed.
2024. Mike Pence is elected by a significant margin. Between 2020 and 2024, Trump had confirmed two more justices to replace RBG and Clarence Thomas with strong conservative credentials. Roe v. Wade not affected for the most part, but return to Constitutional fortitude is paramount, with much of the governance returning to the states.

That's more likely.

2018 - We work our asses off and GOTV ...

At present DU-grade Progs' "GOTV" efforts seem to be mainly focused on getting out the R vote by behaving like raving lunatics in public places.
