Under the electoral college system, not everyone’s vote carries the same weight; in 2016, Wyoming had one electoral vote for every 190k residents while in California each vote represented 680k people. This clearly violates the principle of equality. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2020/07/another-monument-to-white-supremacy-that-should-come-down-the-electoral-college/ …

I'm in favor of it all, but how do you get around the end of Article V? Same place where it establishes amendment process at all, it says, "no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate."

First, if you amend, you amend. Second, I don’t propose to abolish *equal representation* in the Senate; I propose to abolish the Senate, wholesale. (Heck, we could even keep the Senate, but just move all its powers to Congress, making the Senate’s function purely ceremonial.)

Better define and strengthen separation between church and state, including taxation of money-making enterprises that hide under a church.

I’d get rid of tax exemption altogether
