I see some good ideas in there.

"1. Restructure the House of Representatives to equal either the 1 Representative per 30,000 citizens as stated in the Constitution or to a level at which citizens can successfully run for House seats."

But most of the population leans to the left. And on NPR yesterday, some Democrats were salivating for an Article V convention and wanting it. What if state legislators knew that at a special moment, they could make sure that they could do something for some billionaires and never be bound to the discretion of their voters again? Would every one of them proceed to do the right thing anyway? Or would they latch onto power?

There’s a difference between a con-con (Constitutional Convention) and a CoS (Convention of the States).

We’re so divided, I don’t think the CoS would even work— stalemate.

But we’re no longer a nation of laws, so it all could go sideways in a heartbeat.

I think we missed the exits, we’re lost.

It’s sad but I can’t get the optimism to see beyond or a way out that isn’t nasty.

We are pretty much run by the Brawndo’s and billionaires at this point.

Not true at all. Most people identify as center right "moderates" or conservative.
