I am a liberal, but not really radical.

I believe ...

... fervently that all persons are created equal and should have equal opportunity.

... that the more fortunate should carry the burden of assisting the less fortunate.

... that our representative democracy is the best form of government, but that our republic is marred by institutions that prohibit majority rule. The EC & Senate were created to support government by the aristocracy & should be abolished.

NONE OF THAT IS RADICAL

Uhhh ... I live in FLORIDA. My state is about as far OFF board with the NPVC as any state could get. Florida is so totally in the hands of the GOP that democratic/progressive actions by individuals is pointless.

@OlDude82 Ouch. I wasn't sure from your profile if you were still in Florida.

Yeah, that would be an awfully hard sell. Some believe the EC benefits the Republican minority (who can't win a fair fight). A case can be made that who it really benefits is big swing states, but that's not going to convince Florida either.

All I can offer is solidarity from the political and geographic antipodes. ✊
