Get out and vote for a different party that actually represents the people.

This should be the rallying cry before the next election. It should be splashed across billboards, made into a commercial by Meidas Touch and shown in prime time, and be an ad on Facebook plating as often as the atrocious "HeGetsUs" ads.

Ok but in that timeline we get Hilary Clinton as president. If there's one "liberal" I would never ever vote for it's her. She's everything that's wrong with the democratic party.

If they want votes, they need to have okay candidate or at least run a half-way competent campaign.

Bernie Sanders was that candidate

In another timeline Biden changes the size of SCOTUS for the eighth time in its history. I think and without looking it up: the last time was to match the number of district courts, then 9, now 13.

There is still time technically, but not realistically. Because, well, Biden.

Blame the voters and not the shitty candidates. Well, I think about it, I guess that's fair. Voters really need to do better, specifically in the primaries.
