Shocking stat: 57 senators who voted to convict Trump represent 76.7 MILLION more Americans than 43 senators who voted to acquit

Senators voting to impeach represent 61.6% of Americans (202 million)

Senators voting to acquit represent 38.2% of Americans (125 million)

This just underscores how undemocratic US Senate is:

-split 50-50 but Dems represent 41 million more people

-15 states with 38 million people elect 30 GOP senators

-California with 40 million people elects 2 Dems https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/01/the-insurrection-was-put-down-the-gop-plan-for-minority-rule-marches-on/

“The only way to reverse minority rule is through big structural reforms like abolishing Electoral College, eliminating filibuster, ending partisan gerrymandering, enshrining right to vote in Constitution & giving statehood to Washington DC & Puerto Rico” https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/01/the-insurrection-was-put-down-the-gop-plan-for-minority-rule-marches-on/

Dems didn’t have the votes to convict Trump

But they do have the votes to stop next attack on democracy by passing John Lewis Voting Rights Act & For the People Act if they abolish the filibuster

The stakes couldn’t be higher https://www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/2021/02/trumps-lawyers-wont-renounce-the-big-lie-and-neither-will-the-gop/

Read @ThePlumLineGS: "Democrats must accept the full implications of the GOP’s ongoing and intensifying radicalization & they must be prepared to act upon them."

-Pass H.R.1 and S.1 with all deliberate speed

-Be prepared to nuke legislative filibuster https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/02/13/massive-gop-betrayal-our-democracy-requires-forceful-democratic-response/
