Progressive Politics

I think the biggest problem I can cook up is that it's sort of hard to campaign on cardinal voting, especially at the federal level, because it's sort of an apolitical and nerdy topic that people don't know about and don't give a shit about. You'd probably have to campaign on giving people healthcare, or, responding to the economy, or any number of other issues that might come up in that particular cycle. You'd have to pass it as a total footnote to something else, which, at the federal level, probably wouldn't happen, precisely because it would threaten the power monopoly that both parties have as different sides of the same cardboard cutout. You'd get no votes congressionally to get that passed. You'd probably have to do a bunch of legislation before that, leading up to that, probably you'd have to get rid of citizen's united, yadda yadda. If you were the president theoretically you could add a lot of rhetorical pressure to specific members of congress, but that's more useful if you have like, a narrow margin, if you're outweighed by most then you'd probably ironically end up doing a lot of what trump is doing right now even though he has a majority.
