Article 1, Section 10 of the United States Constitution. Have you read it lately? Maybe you should.
You want to abolish the electoral college but it's "too hard" because of the Constitution. So....you do something unconstitutional to try to get around it? Something that will be smacked down at best and start a war at worst. A war with the States that don't interfere with their citizens ability to be extremely well armed. Oh and also, the US military since, again, this is unconstitutional. So, a few gun hating Socialists vs...The greatest military in the world AND a militia so large that it dwarfs most Countries in the world. Yeah, okay.
Admit it, this sounded better in your head, didn't it? I mean, before somebody really laid out how completely idiotic and suicidal it is. You were like "Say, that sounds like a swell idea! We'll get a bunch of States to stand together against the US, for the sake of suppressing the minority! We'll even claim it's about States' Rights! Nobody has ever tried THAT before!"
Maybe some day there will be a controversial statue of you on the news, too! Won't that be great?
