    For those getting excited: The Electoral College is established by the US Constitution, and abolishing it would require a constitutional amendment.

      FTA: “ even without a near-impossible constitutional amendment.”

    Want to get excited about this but I’m old enough to know they’ll probably revert to their fetish for watered down bi-partisan legislation and “taking the high road”. I’m willing to lose the pessimism if there’s a major change in leadership but not super hopeful about it.

      I'm actually more excited they have enough power now to maybe get money out of politics once and for all

      Imagine the progress when only small donations allowed and no-one can drop a HALF BILLION on a single state

      Could actually pass universal healthcare once insurance industry is muzzled and can't buy politicians anymore
