        We have 4 parties. Only room for 2 until we overturn CU, fix gerrymandering and move to proportional representation for at least the House

        I'd like to see the Senate get bigger too, on ranked choice voting. Originally it was one senator per 150k people, now one per 3.3 million.

        Exactly. For some states, it would be more of the same, but for many, it would be a more accurate ideological representation.

        I would join the Women's party. I honestly think men need a break from politics. Two to three terms should be a good starting point.

        Unfortunately a two-party system is an emergent property of the Constitution. You need to rewrite it to make 3rd parties viable.

        My idea: Let the Republican Party run itself into the ground and divide their votes, work on fixing the Democratic Party.

        Let's cut to the chase. Demand Republicans go on record whether they support a constitutional rewrite or not. Everything else is secondary.

        100%. Developing strategies to win winnable states just to prevent the GOP from unilateral amending ability should be priority #1, its crazy
