One thing I worry about is a contingent presidential election. That situation arises when no candidate gets a majority of electoral votes (270 of 538). Should this situation arise, Congress gets to pick the next president and vice president.

    Not only did they fail to expand it, they spent the next decade watching it get chipped away and chipped away.

    And why is that? Think about it for a minute. Guess what we haven’t had at all since then: enough democrats in congress to override Republicans.

    Democrats can’t do shit until there’s at least 60 senators and preferably 62 or so in case of Manchins. All they can do until then is make small gains here and there while staving off republican bullshit.

    You keep saying dems are incompetent but they don’t have the numbers in Congress. That’s politics 101.
