7. It's unlikely that achieving the latter will do anything for the former

8. You're probably right

In all the years of the Democratic majority in congress, the death penalty was never abolished.

But it's really the only hope we have.

The GOP is the party of war, death, and torture. And as long as they remain in power, our national policy will be one of war, death, and torture.

2. It's a no brainer for me....

...to end the death penalty, you (generic) must change the laws. To change the laws, we must get more like minds in Congress :hi:

9. This is an issue that has killed Democrats in the past

It was how the Republicans were able to play their dirty tricks on Michael Dukakis in '88.
