Goddamn we need a new constitution
Yep. We have an entire party that has no real plan to recruit new voters by presenting good ideas. They just say whatever shit they need to say to get to the next day. There is no platform. But there is ideology mostly used to rile up the base. They're trying to rig the system because they know their ideas are unpopular and they're unwilling to adapt to changing demographics.

This is one more reason to hate the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. The Electoral College needs to go, but blue states making a symbolic stand by awarding their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner just willfully cedes an advantage to a party that has no intention of responding in kind. And now, if Trump actually tries to pull the shit in the Atlantic article, they can point to the precedent that these states set when they ignored the popular vote total in their own state.
Yep, its needed reforming and updating for awhile. Term limits for federal judges and members of Congress, abolition of the Electoral College, reforms in how we nominate and approve federal judges, SC justices, and other federal appointees, greater privacy protections, an easier way to amend (change) the Constitution, and more. We're essentially still being governed by an 18th-Century document trying to cover a 21st-Century society, and the cracks are really, really beginning to show.
Republicans (including Trump's campaign) successfully argued in courts to have mail in ballots that were not in secrecy envelopes thrown out.
A few mail in ballots that were not in secrecy envelopes were thrown out.
DOJ launches an investigation into why they were thrown out.
Trump adds the situation to his PR spin on how the election is being rigged.
no PM's from jhmd about how we need to get used to losing because of this genius and totally above-board strategy his party is a party to.
That's unpossible!
The article is basically “dumb Blacks don’t know how to vote.”
