Good lord - we win a trifecta and your first order of business is to put in the National Popular Vote unilateral disarmament agreement? Seriously??? How about protecting the right to abortion? How about putting fair redistricting commissions in place?

I want them to do all that. But the only way to enshrine fair redistricting commissions (apart from state statute) is by constitutional amendment to make it extremely hard for a future state GOP trifecta to undo. In Virginia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania an amendment has to pass in two separate state legislative sessions (unless PA can get 67% of legislators in one session) before it can be put to voters… which would be 2028 at the earliest.
But redistricting in 2030 is not going to be good for the blue wall. Whoever wins the presidency in 2032 has to win a Southern swing state or two. That’s why getting the NPVC with 270 in place before redistricting in 2030 is so important.
Sorry, help me understand how the NPVC is going to do anything to help us win the Presidency? Frankly, it's not even going to make presidential elections more fair. It is straight up unilateral disarmament and I do not understand why anyone would push for it and for damn sure not at the expense of infinitely more important things.
