Do they think it would be easier to just elect Democrat presidents and therefore fix everything totally? Plus the template’s stupid. Why would the school force Bart to write such?

It's the dunk tank.

what about if the indigenous reservations, in total, were worth 1000 electoral votes. and they made their own rules for voting rights and ballot access.
I could get down with that.
Decolonization by assimilation but indigenous parties get to destroy colonizer parties through liberal democracy. Wait, the electoral college only elects the president and settlers would still control the rest of the government…
The charitable interpretation is that since a state's number of electors is equal to its representation in Congress, that each reservation having electors would also necessarily mean that Indian Country would have some 75% of the House of Representatives and 82% of the Senate.
I mean it still wouldn't change the fact that it's decolonization by assimilation, but it does make it considerably funnier. Like 82% of the Senate stands empty 'cause the Natives decided to use the Sinn Féin strat
I didn't think about that, but maybe with the Supreme Court ruling saying the president can do extralegal executions, war against citizens, and generally operate above all laws the solution would present itself immediately and they could drastically reorganize everything pretty quick.
