Ok I spoke too soon
Just disagree with:
1. Instead fix gerrymandering and/or force states to appoint electors like they do representatives — not winner take all !
2. Expanding the Supreme Court is a temporary measure. Do it only to redress the shenanigans Republicans pulled blocking Obama nominees and vowing to block all Hillary nominees and then rushing through judges. And then put something in place to prevent such cheating in the future by either party. Also do this for all lower courts! They are even more packed and will be used to approve more gerrymandering and creative voting restrictions on local levels.
3. Agree
4. As long as we can delegate our votes to whomever we choose and we have blockchain level security for the election. I’m actually building this.
5. Agree. But not only women. Training for everyone who was underrepresented relative to their population.
6. Rational.app, I am actually building this
7. Agree. This is a rounding error, may as well do the right thing.
8. Disagree. Senators were originally not even popularly elected. They are part of the compromise between states and popular vote.
9. Puerto Rico yes, Washington DC no. It was not supposed to be part of any state, and it should be a special area. If you want more Democratic states, split up California like they did Dakota for instance.
10. Filibuster can be useful. How about instead we end omibus bills that cram unrelated stuff into one bill, and require line item votes for everything. And require senators to prove they read the bill by taking a basic comprehension test that is produced by a third party, like they do on SATs.
- AnimalMuppet 5y ago10: Not just senators - representatives, too. If you didn't read it, you don't get to vote on it. Oh, you don't want to have to read a 1000-page bill? Stop writing bills like that.
