Amendments added to the Constitution thus far have been initiated by Congresses. What this article is describing is a Constitutional Convention that is initiated by the STATE legislators. States have the power to also propose amendments. This is about proposing procedures for such a state led convention.

It would require 2/3 of the states to propose it and 3/4’s of the states to ratify any amendment.

Yes, and I prefer proposed amendments to the U.S.Constitution to continue being created in Congress, thank you very much!

Are 3/4’s of the States presently dominated by Conservatives? I really don’t think so, and any such Convention will in general have the appearance of a pooch sc..w!
