That's a good question. I think we need a massive push towards it, from our local officials all the way to the top. Bernie may get onboard.

True but nothings going to happen until we both demand it and actually do something about it.

The time to be hopeful that one of the major parties has an awakening is over.

Absolutely. I think that the best path of action is to let our local politicians know clearly that this is the desire of their constituents, and push hard to vote in candidates that support this. All of these politicians started somewhere, so the best hope for change starts locally and grows from there as word gets out.

Certainly easier to convince them than career politicians at the national level
