Twice in the last 20 years, the Electoral College resulted in unwanted presidencies, despite the overall vote.

We have the intelligent people on our side. They have signs such as "Moran" and other misspelled crap.

Perhaps that sign will motivate my neighbors, who like to bitch about Individual-1, but who also didn't bother to go to the polls in 2016 to vote against him.

Citizens United has a not-so-small relation to this equation.

Once we regain control (notice I didn’t use the word “power” here), this must be a top priority: repeal the empower of PACs over our election system.

Not to mention disenfranchisement of Democratically-inclined voters. And that involves voter roll purges, and other Reich-wing tactics.

This is a marathon, not a sprint to November 3.

It was a SCOTUS decision and based on First Amendment free speech issues. Might take a constitutional amendment to accomplish, which is probably impossible today (Dems would have to control 38 of 50 state legislatures).

I might be wrong, I know in some cases legislation has been rewritten to get around court decisions, but I don't think it would work with this court.
