the fundamental unfairness of the American political system. He points to the undemocratic nature of the...

Note the identification of "fairness" with "democracy".

Democracy is an evil from the pits of Hell, as the Founders well knew. It is the antithesis of fairness, just as "liberty" and "equality" are antonyms.

“He points to the undemocratic nature of the United States Senate, where one vote in a small state means so much more than one vote in a highly populous one. Or the fact that, in two recent elections—2000 and 2016—a Republican was elected president even though his Democratic opponent won a majority of the vote.”

SO...he has no understanding (or appreciation) of the genius that gave us this model for governance, then. Given that the Senate was to be filled by the individual State Legislatures, as the voice of the States, it only makes sense that each has an equal voice, regardless of the size of the State.
And, the straight up popular vote that is so much the vogue on the left, at the moment, is merely an invitation to the destruction of the nation by destroying the value of the vote of the common man. The Electoral College is the mechanism that assures my vote has worth, and it precludes the left from assured perpetual rule controlled by their minions on the coasts, at the expense of the rest of the nation.

Revealing who they really are? Yes. Yes, indeed. And, they are evil.

“Sounds like this author wants one-party rule.”

Sounds like they want to tear down the America. Apparently radical, leftist ideas do not appeal to the majority of voters. In America, this means they lose at the ballot box and the right to govern. So instead, they must “burn down the house” to gain power. I wish these people would go live in Venezuela for 10 years to get some experience with one party, leftist rule.

But hey, if California can be split into 7 States, we can split Tennessee into 5, Kentucky into 4, Mississippi into 3, etc. I won’t mess with Texas.

Maybe the Repubs should take his advice, after 2018, expand the courts, and pack them with conservatives, etc etc...

I can hear him respond to your post “That’s so 1776”.

I would bet he doesn’t know that, else he would show us how much smarter than the Founders in the complexities of human nature and self-government.

“Democrats are not usually street fighters”
“Democrats are too nice”

Where has he been for the last 50 years?

Also, it is clear he does not believe in federalism and the Constitution.

You are right. In addition, they:

stuff ballot boxes with fake votes.
lose or throw away boxes of votes that are anti their agenda.
refuse to allow all voting sites to check ID’s.
distort plain meaning of words (i.e., “pro-choice” means only one choice)
use courts to nullify clear voter intent in referendum elections.
call their opponents the vilest of names (NAZI, Hitler, fascist, etc.)
use only “straw-man” and “ad-hominem” methods for debate.

Yes, it’s clear they have been holding back and now they need to stop being so nice! /s

“We in the middle of a coup attempt to take Trump out - one that’s lasted since the election and has continued well into his administration.”

Wish there were some statesmen in Congress who would stand up daily on this issue, shut some things down, and force this to an end. It is an attack our our institutions, our notion of justice and free elections.

Someday, someone will wake up and write a book starting with HRC sounding the alarms (paraphrasing) at the end of one of the debates about the danger of (Trump) not accepting results of an election, it is was serious affront/threat to our system / election / institutions. Then recount in excruciating detail what really happened, who attacked our institutions, and how it changed our country for the worse.

There needs to be a federsl swamp draining hands on investigation deep into Palm Beach and Broward counties.

By destroying the fraudsters there , Florida can be guranteed.

We learned from the high school shooting fiasco the depth of fraud and corruption in Broward county that is totally unacceptable. The same is sure to be true in Palm Beach county and quite possibly Dade county as well

Democrats aren't generally known as street fighters. They tend to be open to compromise, to a much greater extent than Republicans. Is that why they are in the powerless position they find themselves today?

Self-awareness is not one of the author's strengths.

“When the system works for them they are fine with it.”

No, when they are able to “work the system” they are fine with it. If the system works as it should, the RATS are shut out.

LOL. So true. That is what is very bizarre about these people. It is their real inability to see reality. They truly have deluded themselves.

I do think the 95% of the media, entertainment, schools' education that is strongly liberal/communist/socialist/"progressive" has actually turned these people into IDIOTS.

It's fascinating.

Their problem is that their in a political minority and they’re having trouble imposing their will on the majority. Their role models should be Hitler and Stalin. They did it.

That’s right Faring, the eastern seaboard should be consolidated into one state to even the score. This is where the most power is concentrated with states no bigger than some counties in large states. How many senators do these 10 states have and how come so many presidents come from said location? Try offering a platform of freedom rather than slavery for US citizen taxpayers, you con artist.

It takes a low IQ population for tyrants to rule. This psychopathic writer is simply a retread of every failed tyrant and slave owner of the past. He is suggesting a free people submit to international crime rulers. And make no mistake, these are criminals intent on subjugating US citizen taxpayers.

“Grant statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, and break California in seven, with the goal of adding 16 new Democrats to the Senate. Expand the Supreme Court and the federal courts, packing them with liberal judges. Move to multi-member House districts to roll back the effects of partisan gerrymandering. Pass a new Voting Rights Act, including nationwide automatic voter registration, felon enfranchisement and an end to voter ID laws. Grant citizenship to millions of undocumented immigrants, creating a host of new Democratic-leaning voters:”

Oh please, dear God, let the Dems announce all this loud and proud. 2020 will be a 47 State landslide.
