Where 2020 Democratic candidates stand on the electoral college, court packing and changes to democracy

Candidate positions highlighted"I believe in filibuster reform and making it much harder for any one senator to bring the Senate to a halt," Sanders told The Post."I also believe, as recent history has shown, that major legislation can be passed by majority vote through the budget reconciliation process." He had previously told CBS News he was “not crazy about getting rid of the filibuster.

""I believe that an individual Senator who strongly opposes a piece of legislation should be allowed to hold the floor for as long as she can stand," Williamson told The Post."But given the unprecedented partisanship that Republicans have thrust on this country — exemplified by their refusal to even hold hearings on Merrick Garland — I do not believe that the Senate can function if legislation requires a super majority to pass.

Did u forget they found Russia had to effect on the outcome...I KNOW it hard to believe but Americans actually went out in droves and voted for trump...people of all color too!!!!

There is only one way to deal with this. Democrats running for President need to demand that the 2020 platform openly support increasing the Supreme Court justices to 11. McConnell has blew out all norms. TheDemocrats must fight fire with fire!

Buttigieg literally does NOT support packing the court

Radical, radical, radical

Calling these proposals “changes to democracy” is a pretty misleading description of attempts to change a rigged, undemocratic political system into an actual representative democracy

Where’s the report on the GOP ?

TheDemocrats need to control themselves from competing 4 extreme ideas: single payer healthcare, tax on property, green new deal, court packing, electoral college & on and on. While the majority is hungry to kick tRump out, you guys r competing to turn off some of those voters.

Question 1 and 3 can not occur without a full blown Socialist attack on our Republic. Not a question where Dems. stand. Question 2 is just pure nonsense. Thankfully Dems their media and ignorant Hollywood lackies are self destructing.

Really - are these the most important issues!

I would like to see you take these polls once-a-week until the Democratic Primaries are held while at the same time conducting the same polls on each candidate's base at the same time...

But Trunp is the one uprooting our institutions....

Ironic Democrats are outraged by Russia, Russia, Russia but they support the presidency of Russia’s biggest ally in our hemisphere: Maduro of Venezuela.

That's how the evil baby killing Demon-Rats plan to steal elections!

Republicans have won the popular vote ONCE in the past 7 presidential elections but won the Electoral College 3 times (includes this last hacked one)

They’ve become the laughing stock

Kill the electoral college? Stack the Supreme Court?The Democratic presidential hopefuls, prodded by a frustrated base, are pushing fundamental changes to the American political system. Here's what they're saying. Yeah. We imported 50 million socialists the past 50 years and now the country is completely different and the socialist Democratic Party wants to make America like Venezuela. We know that already. This is the worst kind of political journalism. No discussion of the merits. Just parroting politicians. The GOP only exists, lacking any good arguments, because of substance-free reporting like this.
