Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence

[Grey Lemercier]

125. If you want a more democratic system you are going to have to move out of the US

The Senate is always going to be 2 per state, the EC will never be done away with. The best you can hope for is an increase in the number of House Members (and thus more EV's to help make it fairer from the larger states). Even that is going to be incredibly hard, as we will need to control both chambers of Congress. 2018 we will be crushed in the Senate, barring some crazy events, and if we do not do much better at state levels in 2018 and especially 2020, the post 2020 Census-based congressional redistricting done by utterly dominant Rethug state house majorities will prevent us from having House control until possibly 2032.

I'm sick and tired of Tory control here in the UK, but they are not at the sheer lunatic level (yet) that the US Uglicans are. IF the 2018 and 2020 US elections go badly enough (including a Trump relection) then anyone who can should consider leaving. The SCOTUS will be 6-3 or 7-2 HARD right wing, and the Rethugs will have control of every branch for the next 4 years (until 2024). By then, in the 8 years of Trump and crazy RW legislatures and courts, all gains in civil rights, etc, of the last 60 years will be rolled back. No point to staying if you can leave in that event, as it will be multiple decades of hell ensuing unter the long term damage can be unspun.

The Rethugs played the long game, and if those 2 elections go their way, they will have completely won for decades from a systemic standpoint. They are almost there now. The founding fathers sure as fuck no longer look like the geniuses so many have claimed for the last 240 years.

Succession will never be tolerated, it will be met with extreme force if the improbable happened and a state or states actually attempted it.

In almost exactly 3 years and 10 months you will know if you should pack your bags or not.
