Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : Anti-popularists like Elie Mystal, Will Stancil, and Ryan Cooper might be right (and I think they are) that this approach would be less electorally effective than hoped for, and would represent a betrayal of key Democratic constituencies -- and be unenforceable practically in a vibrant democracy.
34% : Both the popularists and the anti-popularists are trapped in a cage bounded by an unrepresentative Senate, a gerrymandered House, and an increasingly unstable Electoral College.
