I think they’re referring to this section:

After Minnerly put forward her resolution on August 4, she said, representatives of DNC Chair Ken Martin reached out to propose a compromise. But the proposal they offered did not go far enough in calling for pressure on Israel, she said. “Ultimately it was clear to me the conversation they’re having is different from the reality today,” she said.

But that description has a very different tone than the headline. Without knowing exactly what was said, it’s hard to know which framing is more accurate.

You’re welcome.

I think people are seeing now that our system of government is broken beyond repair. Maybe it will take more than 3 years but we need to change far more than who sits on the throne.

Which one is that?

Oh just as a tiebreaker. Interesting.

Personally I don’t support any electoral system where leaders have any more or less voting power than the votes they receive, so I’m not sure how that would be workable in your system. For example, the outlying group would have way more electoral power per person if each leader gets one vote.

I definitely think the US needs to split up. What’s the point of having another president though? Won’t we just end up with the same problem over time?

Or, hear me out: we abolish the presidency. There’s absolutely no need for so much power to be vested in one person.
