Article V was given to us by the Founders as a means of recourse. I get that. Problem is, when they did so, there was no uniparty, and no backroom ‘negotiations’ between the alleged opposing sides in the alleged name of ‘bipartisanship’. This will not be rainbows and unicorns. If, in fact, a successful Convention is convened, it is far more likely we will find ourselves scratching our heads, wondering how we lost MORE rights. Have fun with that.

You obviously have not read much on the writing of the Constitution. There were a LOT of "backroom deals" struck to get the Constitution passed.

I never realized that this could work against us.
