Not to mention the platform would be all lies if proposed by Democrats.

Good point! However, the Rats would eliminate the Electoral College for sure. Term limits? Most Rats are lifelong politicians and the more recent ones plan to be. Some of them have been politicians FOR GENERATIONS!

Even fact not fiction can’t believe any Democrats would support More than 5% of those points.

I'm not sure but I think that would take a constitution amendment to change it.

I find most sensible...
Except for the popular vote... As long as it is a two party system that is a terrible idea...
If a few more party's entered the arena it would be sensible... Also, there should be stronger state's rights so as to protect various communities from overwhelming federalist policies....

A few of these SOUND good & will probably be touted, but anyone with ANY sense knows they would NEVER happen!! The only one they will push REALLY HARD is the POPULAR VOTE to do away with the Electoral College! Because that completely changes the power structure in the USA and we will only have ONE political party...COMMUNIST DEMOCRATS!!

The Dems were sure trying to change how the Electors were to vote instead of how their state vote went !
They will continue to push everything they can to rig the elections to their favor even it is illegal

Additionally, Only California & New York need be counted. 48 states would have no effect.

While there are a couple of good ideas in that list a number of them are flat out unconstitutional.
