What sore losers. If Hillary had cheated her way to victory no way do the Dems talk about abandoning the electoral college.

If we split California north and south. How would that work out?

Typically, 3/4 of the people did not vote for whoever happens to be in the White House at any given time.
1/2 don’t vote and the other half is split.

So, shut up about the minority.

Whichever party that is in power is always the minority.

She’s just angry because unlike gay marriage or abortion, there’s really no way to change the EC into the PV under the auspices of some penumbra or emanation.

If California left, it would be a long time before the USA had another Democrat President.

If tax havens were established in garden spots of the USA, the tech firms would like flee California’s taxes and regulation.

They would go the way of Venezuela. Without oil, they would probably have to prevent people/businesses from leaving by force of law - maybe build a wall.

Take California, Seattle, Chicago, New York and Baltimore with you and you can go.

Neo-Bolshevism.

The Bolsheviks held to direct democracy (absolute majority rule), but that the party decided what was voted on.

The aforementioned Disgruntled Democrats don’t want a Constitutional Convention, they want a Communist Convention.

We have not seen this much pure hatred of Democrats against a Republican president since, well, 1860.

the Constitution is written in such a way that it’s almost impossible to amend

Ignoring history.

Even a dumb-o-crat should know that the US Constitution has been amended 17 times and that there are 27 amendments.

What he really means it that it is not easy to add leftist, Feel-Good, snow-flake amendments that fly in the face of the Constitution itself.

AMERICA is a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY.

If this guy had a brain, he’d know the entire purpose of the constitution and driving force behind nearly ever decision that created it was to prevent the MAJORITY from running roughshod over the MINORITY.... pure democracy is a failed concept and the founders spoke at great lengths about the tyranny of the majority and the need to prevent it.

This guy is like most democrats... an absolutely blithering idiot, with no understanding of the government of his own country.

Can you imagine how bad a Constitution written by our current crop of political idiots would be?

This woman truly doesn't know what she's talking about. We are not three states away from any kind of convention. It's scary that a congresscritter of any party should know so little about the Constitution.

Rules are in place since 1861! Have a vote in the state both houses on a single resolution.
