What's the Dem's plan for their Kavanaugh hail-mary?

Lol

To point out a possibility is to be defeatist now.

C’mon guy. This is their end game. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, it’s the next step. They don’t even have to alter the constitution - they can simply retain legislatures across the nation, draw districts again, and win more elections with fewer people. Isolate the Dems to the major metros and call it good.

I was joking about the defeatism, which I thought you'd pick up on considering that my post is the essence of defeatism.

Anyways, you're right that they don't have to alter the Constitution - they can just have their lackeys on the SC interpret it in a favourable way. The entire reason why his strategy is viable long-term is because the tactics - voter suppression, gerrymandering, controlling the courts and states, etc. - provide intrinsic benefits, while also accruing progress towards the larger strategic goal.

You can try stacking the Courts. Next time they are in power, they'll do the same thing. You can try flipping red or purple governorships, but that is hard for the reasons mentioned above. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is embrace states rights for blue states, while forming alternative power centers to Washington and obstructing like hell. For instance, New York, Cali, etc. could all agree on a subnational healthcare insurance plan. Use lawsuits to bog down everything you can. Whatever you decide to do, it is going to require rebuilding the DNC into a grassroots organization that does real political organizing instead of Beyonce concerts.

all this boils down to the fact that i was right and we need a unitary system of government otherwise we're going to have another civil war within the century.

you guys really need to get over your egos and accept that i am almost always right, even if it takes a few years to bare out.

No shooting civil war. Scuffles in the street, yes. An abnormal plowed down from behind with an automobile, yes, one so far. The Left is more interested in sex and their meetings are just in person Tinder for the production pf new abnormal generations. Faced by an armed Right they will scatter as fast as their tight pants will allow.
