The democrats do not have the power to pass this amendment without republican support. It has been nearly half a century since they’ve had the required majorities (two-thirds in both chambers), and since then they’ve been fighting tooth-and-nail against Republicans like Reagan, Bush Sr., W Bush, and Trump (who is far worse than the first three).
Even under Clinton and Obama, they did not have the majorities to unilaterally amend the constitution; the republicans had enough to stop them.
In order to get this amendment passed, we all need to put a little faith into the democrats because they are the only ones who can feasibly do it.
This is what they say every four years.
Hence why I made my comment. I want to see Democrats do something meaningful now.
