Likely a progressive party

Now, the Dems are basically like the Old Whigs rn. They have no ideology. They have people all over the place; many centrist, conservative, libertarian, progressive, neo-con, and neo-lib Demograts

They're only allied on "Orange Man Bad"

Just like the Old Whig Party, lol

True. But you have to take loyalism into account

In 2016, many Bernie voters refused to vote for Hillary

Yeah

In 2020, the same will happen with Bernie and Warren loyalists.

It's going to be a landslide election.

I can see Bernie winning and Warren barely winning

It's just a game of who can win the Rust Belt

And I can't see the DNC humbling themselves enough to select either of them.

And Bernie has that in the Bag but Warren...not so much

Biden's going to lose the rustbelt, hard.

Ye

Funny enough, the US had a Progressive Party once

Made by the Father of Progressivism, himself, Teddy Roosevelt

It was actually the most successful Third Party in US History

Unfortunately, he split the Vote with Taft and gave Woodrow Wilson a Landslide Victory

Those numbers have *slightly* shifted

Don't worry. I'm sure we'll hear about how the Electoral College *desperately needs reform* once Trump's re-elected.

The Electoral College was always meant to be Temporary

In Fact, the Founders intended it to be replaced with Direct Democracy

No they fucken didn't

But the EC Favoured Land Owners and no way Land Owners were gonna share the vote with the Peasants

The founders hated direct democracies

They hated Direct Democracy as a System of Gov't

Not as a Voting Method

No, that's actually inaccurate. The founding father's understood the dangers of pure democracies, fearing the tyranny of the majority. That's why were a Democratic Republic.

It doesn't matter whether or not the founders favored it, the question is *is it a good idea*?

We're talking about electing a person

Not running a country

Ah, now I see your point.

Hell the founders didn;t even want everyone to vote

You look at mayors and district congressmen and senators

They're voted in with Direct Democracy

The idea was for Presidents to also be elected that way

They only wanted land lords, and bussissness owners to vote becuase they had skin in the game

At first

That was the Temporary Solution
