Congratulations on teaming up with communists to write an entirely new Constitution.

Uygur joyfully continued, “I agree, and the original convention they say was … a runaway convention. It was, and it produced the greatest document known to man.” Lessig then smiled and replied, “Let’s have some more runaway conventions.” - Lawrence Lessig, The Young Turks, Sept 26 2011

Lessig and the other reformers behind Equal Votes say presidential candidates’ focus on battleground states unfairly tilts the national political agenda. Those states “are substantially different from the United States as a whole,” the group writes on its website. “They are older, and they are whiter. Winner-take-all effectively outsources the selection of our president to a subset of America -- a subset that does not truly or accurately represent America.” - Equal Votes, Oregon Live, 3 Oct 2017

“What I do fear is a country that has become convinced it is no longer mature enough to consider amendments to its constitution, that believes it is too sacred for ordinary people to touch. I just reject that. Basically, it’s saying there’s nothing we can do but go ahead with a constitution that, as currently interpreted, is subverting representative democracy.” - Lawrence Lessig, The Nation, Sept 2 2017

"Other issues now pressed by the left—the right to health care, education, housing, the vote, even a basic income—could also be raised in a convention of states ... The left shouldn’t be afraid of a ‘runaway convention.’ It should welcome one." - Richard Kreitner, The Nation, Sept 2 2017

The left has no hope of calling a convention and even less of it being ratified. The right probably doesn't either but it's within the realm of possibilities.

If a convention is called, it'll be by leftists. Tranny right-wingers are not RWers.
