Apart from an Article V convention, we are running out of peaceful options.

And Article V would be extremely risky IMHO. The convention would be overrun with Berniebots proposing to make health care, jobs and college tuition a "right".

Going back to at least 1660, English speaking peoples have held conventions to deal with inadequate or oppressive governments. Until the Article V process appeared in the US Constitution, these meetings were extra-governmental and regarded as less than legitimate. But, the fact remains that conventions of the sovereign people are well established in our history and should be resorted to when circumstances, such as now, compel us.
