          Easiest thing to do would be to double the number of congressmen. The number is an artificial change to the Constitution, and it would have the side effect of reducing the electoral college effect of the 2 senators that each state gets.

          DC and Puerto Rico statehood is the right big issue for Dems over the next decade. That way it's not naked political power but about being just. This is an issue of justice, that Puerto Rico isn't a state w senators. It's population dwarfs Wyoming

          I mean, state legislatures with a majority of Electoral votes could do it through compacts.

          To abolish the senate you need all 50 states to go along with it. Amendments are illegal in this one case

          You don’t need to win the electoral college. The president has no input whatsoever in constitutional amendments, Noah.

          Not actually true. Big blue states have other levers, and with huge tax cuts, those levers will become ever more obvious.

          Sometimes the purpose of advocating an idea is just to make a point, though.

          Used to be you just made sure your party had broad appeal. When you choose to become a regional party the system isn't required to change so that becomes viable for the first time in 225 years.

          I sincerely doubt that either will be a consideration when negotiating with the military junta to restore democracy. When I was studying law in UK in 1990's professors took it as a given that US system would collapse like all Presidential systems in a crisis of legitimacy.
