65% of U.S. adults say the way the president is elected should be changed so that the winner of the popular vote nationwide wins the presidency.

        This would not really change the two party system. All it would mean is that you genuinely need a majority of votes and not the majority of a weird convoluted combo of states.

          It would destroy the party system. Suddenly there’s a progressive democrat party and the freedumb caucus becomes it’s own thing.

          I’m game for that.

          Right. Their cold dead hands.

          You can’t convince me Joe Biden is actually alive. You can’t. He died on the campaign trail, and he’s being Weekend at Bernie’s-ed by his staff.

            There’s not a substantive difference in his policies if he’s alive or dead…his whole platform is not Trump.
