      Get rid of it and replace with star voting as a national standard. Abolish the electoral college. If Congress wont represent us in these initiatives, hold an article V convention for the states to directly amend the constitution with these new voting regulations.

        If the states meet, it’s right wing bullshit getting passed, not the things you want. They’re actively trying to do exactly that

          Yep, I hear this same tired argument every time it comes down to article V to get shit done, and it’s always some boomer defender of the status quo. I’m sure we’ll keep hearing it until all state legislatures are fully captured, but thankfully we aren’t there yet.

          How about, and hear me out - we organize and mobilize the convention for populist left changes only, and tell any and all repugs to get bent if they so much as try to get a foot in the door? If they don’t understand, I’m sure the business end of some quality American made firearms can help them along.

            That’s not remotely how conventions work.

            Your solution to the issue of changing the Democratic party from the inside being difficult… is a violent rebellion. You think that’s more feasible? Absurd

              Dems always claiming nothing can be done because republicans won’t let them. Doesn’t leave much else for options.
