Per the constitution the Senate is to vote on Presidential appointments. A simple majority is all that's required. The Constitution even allows for a President to bypass the Senate via recess appointments. During Obama's presidency McConnell elevated his power as majority leader by refusing to holds votes and keeping the Senate in session to prevent recess appointments. The Senate was never meant to be this powerful. The Senate and House are supposed to be equal parts of the legislative branch. What McConnell has gotten away with is a pervertion of the constitution.

> “The egregious ploy to reject electors may enhance the political ambition of some, but dangerously threatens our Democratic Republic. The congressional power to reject electors is reserved for the most extreme and unusual circumstances. These are far from it. More Americans participated in this election than ever before, and they made their choice. President Trump’s lawyers made their case before scores of courts; in every instance, they failed. The Justice Department found no evidence of irregularity sufficient to overturn the election. The Presidential Voter Fraud Commission disbanded without finding such evidence.”

Pence is right where he deserves to be, after years of sitting quietly while his running mate and their allies whipped up the crazies. He is now squarely in the "sights" of people like Lin Wood and others who believe donald trump IS America, and going against him in any way is treason. Nobody threatened Biden's life for simply doing what makes this country great, accepting the results of an election and peacefully passing the torch to the opposing party. There were some vocal objections yes, but nobody filed formal complaints to throw out certified election results. Democratic party electors didn't forge EC documents and send them in before the official state electors could. All for donald fucking trump, which is the real kicker here...people are reacting to a dollar store Kim Jong Un like he's Mussolini.

Live in a deep red state. Nobody is pushing leftist or liberal ideas here, other than the unacknowledged agreement of keeping farmers on the fed teat. The Republican the Democrats chose to run for Senate in Kansas predictably lost to a Trumpian asshat who claimined she was going to ruin the state's health system through socialism and steal all the guns, completely ignoring the state's rural health system is in crisis.

I was raised blue in a red state and currently live in a different red state now. This whole article feels disingenuous to me. He talks about how much he loves Kentucky, but only brings up how beautiful it is. He props up the rural areas, but has escaped them to live in Lexington. He is proud of the 4,8xx people who vote blue in Kim Davis' district, but voting is by definition an anonymous action. He mentions that some Democrats are labeled traitors, etc... but doesn't ever really bring up how many Kentuckians feel that way. We are not supposed to blame Kentucky for Mitch McConnell, but who else are we supposed to blame? 58% voted for Mitch. That isn't a close race. That is Kentucky stating, loud and proud: This is who we are. Trump hasn't changed the Republican party so much as revealed it.

I don't think the author knows what ranked choice voting is. If Georgia had ranked choice voting then Georgia would have 2 Republicans senators right now since if you go back to the earlier election and added up all the Republicans votes together they had more votes than all of the Democrats added together had. For some reason the author compared ranked choice against winner take all, but ranked choice is still a winner take all system. As long as you have one winner per state or district you still have a winner take all system which means a huge chunk of voters in that district have zero representation in government. If the goal is to get more diverse ideas represented in government and to insure that minority voters still have some power when they live in districts dominated by a political party they disagree with, the only solution is multi member districts.

I really do love the idea of the model Alaska is going to use. Jungle primary where the top 4 vote getters across all parties advance to the general election where it is ranked choice. Ordering just 4 candidates isn't arduous and I think htat it would give us meaningful choices. I think in Georgia as an example right now it probably would have lead to a Maga Republican, a moderate republican, a moderate Democrat, and a Libertarian. Give the voters meaningful choices and give politicians incentive to try and appeal to sides to be more electable.

Weirdly I read that the reason Georgia has it's current system was to knee cap black politicians. Black Politicians would get most of the black vote but multiple white politicians would get a split version of the white vote. They made it 50% plus one because they wanted to stop white's from losing due to a split vote. I'm in favor of ranked choice but it's weird that Georgia took steps to a more democratic system in an attempt to be undemocratic

As someone from a first world country, it's bizarre to me that this isn't the highest priority in American politics right now. Ranked choice or STV is the standard, and has been for a very long time, in most other first world countries (the US and UK notable exceptions). I'd estimate that 90% of American gridlocked problems could be resolved by going ranked choice nationally. It would eliminate your 2 party system and give much fairer representation to everyone. The only people that shouldn't want this is the current political-lobbyist-complex. Literally everyone from extremists to moderates get a better deal out of it.
