Episode Description
1. A “Power-Focused” Agenda
- Democratic proposals are primarily about gaining and preserving political control, not policy issues like the economy, crime, or border security.
- Examples include:
- Electoral College reform
- Supreme Court expansion
- Redistricting changes
- Statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico
2. Election System Changes
- Key proposals discussed:
- Ending or reforming the Electoral College → reducing influence of smaller states.
- Multi-member districts → benefiting dense urban (Democratic) areas.
- Expanding Supreme Court (court-packing) → a way to influence rulings.
