Democrats won control of 25 state legislatures in the midterms. They are only 13 away from potentially being able to amend the US Constitution. This has already been done with the 21st amendment in 1933. They would need 38 state legislatures to ratify the amendment.

Props for being, as literally as possible, glass half full?

13 away is so far. That's not even close.

Only 13 away????

What fucking planet are these guys on?

They couldn't even have a supermajority in the Senate while the republicans were worshiping a giant bloated puss filled orange monster.

Only 13. No problem.

Talking about and increasing awareness of the NPVIC would be more useful and realistic, to be perfectly blunt.
