    okay but it’s been passed in plenty of your states and that hasn’t been without democrat party support

    you don’t just change the system overnight - change like that can take a lifetime, and it starts with signalling to move the overton window

      Very few states, actually, and it passed in Alaska in a Republican state. Overall, it has weak momentum.

      How do you signal to “move the overton window?” Prayer?

          If only we could vote on leftist candidates in the primary for the DNC, as though it isn’t a grand filter before anyone even gets to run…
