Right now we're in one of the bad direction moments. But I, what I show in the book, and I work through the sequence of things that we have to do to get there, We can end this ridiculous system where only some states have a meaningful role in choosing our presidents. We can have a one person, one vote democracy to choose the president. We could have a Senate that is ruled by majority rule and where, you know, every American, including folks in D.C. and Puerto Rico, get to vote and get senators. (06:24–06:30)
