This is something about which I have been talking for a while now. The Democrats have two years (less now) to get things done. The new Voting Rights Act; statehood for Puerto Rico and/or D.C.; a long overdue hike in the absurdly low minimum wage. All of this needs to get done before the next election.

Exactly, so much work to do. I would also include adding seats to the Supreme Court to the list.

If the items mentioned above were Republican priorities, you can be sure they would do whatever necessary to pass them. They need to be faced down that our government can work for everyone, not just the wealthy.

Agreed. And, I just don't understand the lack of urgency on the Democrats' part with respect to these issues. We readers all seem to understand their importance. Why can't the people in the House and Senate understand that as well?
