    He can’t tackle SCOTUS expansion unless we also vote in a solid majority in the Senate, and he can’t tackle Medicare for All unless we vote in a supermajority.

      Maybe, but a “nothing to lose” legacy-sealing presidency could mean that he’d get his administration to exhaust all avenues either way. Any meaningful effort from the bully pulpit towards expansion, term limits etc. Would be unprecedented, historic and drive a needed national conversation. Same goes for Medicare for all.

      We won’t do it then, either. We’ll just figure out a larger number of senators we’ll need to do anything.
