  • Re: The States: Doing Their Own Thing...

    Take all the money out of politics and I'll listen to letting the states pick the Senators. Your wish to go back is asking to have the Koch brothers buy the Senate through the state legislatures they already have and instantly call for a Constitutional convention.

    Not only no, but **** no. Stop trying to change the rules because your ideas can't win in the marketplace of ideas.

        Given that the GOP owns something along the lines of 30+ state legislatures, you can take your BSABSVR talk and sit and spin on it.

              You know this is only a talking point because it currently would benefit the GOP, since they control more state legislatures since the 2010 reapportionment, right?

              If the Dems pick up states in 2020, or SCOTUS rules political gerrymandering unconstitutional, the GOP will stop arguing this.

                People on here were a big no because she's a celebrity but if you want a real progressive Cynthia Nixon is the ticket.

                https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/m...imes&smtyp=cur

                I'd vote for her in heartbeat.
