    This country has very limited impeachment and recall mechanisms. It practically hasn’t evolved past its 18th century framing and it seems the GOP has finally found enough holes in the government to forego any semblance of democracy. Legislation can be stopped dead in its tracks with just a handful of people. If Trump is to somehow be stopped this time, anyone else can just keep tearing at the fabric of this government until it fails completely. The only solution that even makes sense is to rewrite the Constitution to better deal with more modern and sophisticated threats but that seems about as popular as the word “socialism”.

      Article V convention to add an amendment to get money out of politics, wolf-pac.com

      We should also look at getting rid of the electoral college and FPTP, replace with ranked choice as the default. Then win congress, restructure the SCOTUS, and overturn citizens united which should be easy with the above amendment.

      The establishment critters all come out of the woodwork when asking this of your state reps and claim it’s too dangerous because Repugs will take advantage to rewrite the constitution and take away all our rights. Considering they are doing that regardless, I don’t consider it a risk at all.
