Talking point opposing Repeal the 17th Amendment and supporting eliminate the electoral college system:
I'm amazed at the number of anti-democratic priorities.

I had no idea there were this many reactionaries left in the United States. This guy wants US senators chosen by state legislatures. Regressive. He hates his own freedom. We need to continue delivering power to the people and eliminate the electoral college, not to regress to the days of slavery. The next proposal will be to recognize some subset of Americans as 3/5’s of a person.

White House 2 is a multi-partisan network of 10545 citizens imagining how the White House might work if it was run completely democratically by thousands of people over the internet. It's free and all U.S. citizens can join.

We're setting priorities, collaborating on policy, and creating a massive database of 2867 talking points covering all sides of every important issue facing our country. Watch the video intro.

Getting involved is easy and fun. Just join and start setting your priorities, like a todo list. The more people who endorse a priority, the higher it rises in the charts. The more people who join the network, the more clout we will have with the President and the media.
