    okay but it’s been passed in plenty of your states and that hasn’t been without democrat party support

    Very few states, actually, and it passed in Alaska in a Republican state. Overall, it has weak momentum.

    you don’t just change the system overnight - change like that can take a lifetime, and it starts with signalling to move the overton window

    How do you signal to “move the overton window?” Prayer?

          Is there a sitting member of the Democratic party that you would consider a “leftist” or one that holds leftist values?
