21. If Democrats expand the court, then govern progressively, without fear or hesitation...

The people will reward them with majorities for a generation, and Republicans won’t get another trifecta opportunity to “reverse” (whatever that means) the progress made by Dems that benefits the lives of all Americans.

After Dems expand the court, they can:

Raise the minimum wage
Restore reproductive rights
Make the ACA subsidies permanent
Repeal the Trump tax cuts for billionaires
Reinstate the Child tax credit
Forgive student loan debt
And so much more to repair the damage of the Trump era.

They can do it all without fear that legislation would be blocked by the filibuster (because they will have killed it to expand the court) or that new laws would be overturned by the MAGA majority on the court.
