Dear Captain Kelly, Gov. Hickenlooper, Senator Cunningham, Speaker Gideon, Jon Ossoff,
I have contributed to your campaign for US Senate, and am deciding whether to contribute more. I am very, very concerned however, that Democrats will just be a moderate Party when there is no "bipartisanship" on the other side. As I see it, only by removing or reducing the filibuster as Sen. Warren proposes can anything be accomplished by congress. A reactionary 6-3 Republican Court will overturn most if not all legislation or action that you may achieve as a senator if Democrats control the Senate. The Republicans under McConnell removed the filibuster for approving their new reactionary justices. This after they used that very filibuster to block almost all of President Obama's appellate and supreme court nominees for 2 years without so much as a hearing. Now they want to ram through an ultra-right wing justice to replace liberal Justice Ginsberg against her dying wishes in the middle of an election, which would end all progress in our society for 20 years. Our situation is not like FDR's when he famously tried to pack the Court. It supposedly didn't work, and yet the threat of doing so pushed some justices to the center. And they were all much older than today's inflexible young ideologues on the Court. Please, keep your options open. The Supreme Court has become a political institution. There should be more justices, term limits and restrictions on how many justices a president can appoint, as Rep. Ro Khanna proposes in his new bill. Democrats must play rough and be bold, or else condemn us to another stalemate like happened under Clinton and Obama in which virtually nothing got done for 8 long years. The result was that the voters saw the Democrats as weak and voted them out after just 2 years, and then voted the Republicans into full power. Democrats must do what is necessary, or we face the loss of a livable climate and a banana republic status for our country. We must move forward after 40 years of neo-liberal regression. It is time for reform and progress to restart again!

Thanks for your consideration,
Eric A Meece

Is there bipartisanship on the other side (your side)? So, how do the Liberal judges vote? So, what are you going to do when the Republicans take back the Senate 2022? So, whose money did you use to gain influence with a Republican senator? Eric, having read this, you can pretty much guarantee that I won't be ignoring your posts. Gee, I may have to write him as well and send a copy of this to Trump and Tucker Carlson on Fox News.

I interpret your idea of bipartisanship that Democrats simply click their heels and support the President no matter what. We all know what President Trump stands for: that all Americans be responsible to an irresponsible elite that owns the assets and has a tight grip on opportunity that it rarely yields. A subservient opposition that never wins anything? That's how it's done in the People's Republic of China.

Donald Trump will still be political poison in 2022 (assuming that he loses the election, which shall be established definitively very soon). The 2020 election looks like a big win for Establishment types as opposed to demagogues of either the Right or Left. Trump seems to have left the pre-Tea Party conservative with no home in the Republican Party. Such people get the Republican Party back lest The Party of Lincoln fade into irrelevance. 

2016 did not prove to be any "reverse wave" for the Tea Party pols in the Senate, but 2022 could be finis to some who aligned themselves with the Tea Party and the "Trump Train". Demographic trends repudiate both the Tea Party and Donald Trump.
