It really only works if it happens in all states at the same time. But there will always be one party who thinks they will lose from this, so they will not do it in their states. It is a bit sad, but there seem to be few ways out of this silly situation, because you will always need to convince the people who win in the current situation to give up some of their advantage. And "country before party" or "doing the right thing" is not something US parties do. Gotta grind the Republican party (as an institution) into the dust and force their voters into the Democrat party, then let the Democrats' party split and finally Democrats can be the right wing of politics we'd all benefit from them being and the progressives that split off could be an actual left wing party. Let's hope this batch of 2028 nominee contenders don't insist on trying to save the Republican party from itself by relentlessly trying to compromise for no explicable reason. | ||
