I honestly don't understand why we talk about eliminating the Electoral College when it literally requires some states to vote in favor of giving up their own power. In what economy of incentives is this even possible?

I would respond by saying that focusing on the attitude or values of an individual or individual type is a convenient distraction from the truth that it is extremely impractical to do what you ask, at scale. The change has to be systemic. And the only systemic change that is practically on the table, is letting the system spin faster until it breaks. That is the only practical, proven path.
Name anything like this in history. Old solutions are well defended against by those in power
Not yet. Happy to jump when there is a viable alternative. I'm not willing to give up all the conveniences and efficiency for a cause. Also, these campaigns rarely actually work. I would be more interested if there were an actual well thought out migration pattern in motion for regular consumers who will never care but spend most of the money

There is a difference between infotainment and propaganda. Both give you what you want but charge a different price.
If you are going to make a statement like that, you should really back it up w primary sources.
That was all very organic.
This is certainly what they want you to think.
The fact is that "both sides" (sorry) are selling a pill for doom. The fire meme above is whatever Trumps latest scary/dumb thing he said, or it's 40 network cameras focused on a 100 SqYd patch of a city that wants to be on the news.
It's whatever will mobilize you to donate, click, watch, buy, and yes, vote.
We only got the fire meme because we don't understand fire.
America would have elected Oprah in a heartbeat.
The problem was thumbing the scale for wet rags who don't lead and can't inspire.
