They can bitch about the Electoral Collage all they want but I can't see them ever getting the kind of support they would need to abolish it. Those rich old white guys were pretty darn smart when they set it up all those years ago. This is from a simple search of what it would take to get rid of it. A lot of red states would have to go blue and I do not see that happening.
" The electoral college, after all, is enshrined in our Constitution, which means getting rid of it requires a constitutional amendment. That's a two-thirds vote in both the House and the Senate and the ratification of three-fourths (38) of the 50 states.Nov 9, 2016"

I don't see this OR the term limits ever getting traction.

Why Do Dems Hate the Constitution?
Interesting opinion here.
Quote:

The idea is to institute "direct democracy" over the current republican form of government, and ultimately, tyranny of the majority. They'd very much like to rub out the votes of all those people who live in red states who voted for Trump, those bothersome places such as Wisconsin, which take so much time and effort to travel to. That way, they can focus solely on coastal blue states and enable their lording it over the red states with no say-so from the latter.

If they ever got the former they'd have carte blanche to NEVER care about the latter. They're just cackling:

Very transparent, all those participation trophies are coming home to roost... They’re completely missing some inconvenient, tragic and costly
steps in between.
I’m reminded of the advertisement where the guy is wearing virtual reality goggles and says” I could be in the NBA”... both funny and tragic.

I doubt even the Dems in those States would think it a good idea.....you lose your say/vote in anything on a Federal level.
California and NY would rule the country and that is why it was designed as it was....a Constitutional Republic where individual States always had a say.....not a Democracy.
