I know the democrats won’t do either but people like Will Stancil (a rando) make me laugh. There’s a legion of centrists who self-identify as progressive because they know how many people hate centrists.

These dorks realize they need a super majority of either state legislatures or congress in order to pass a constitutional amendment, right? Which means democrats need to build their organization outside of the northeast corridor in order to do that.
Notice how his plan isn’t predicated on the amendment passing, merely on forcing the Republicans to engage in a way that (he thinks) makes them look bad.
This isn’t policy, it’s just posturing.
Ah yes, shaming the Republicans into doing something reasonable, that’s been a totally successful strategy the last twenty some odd years.
Dems: “Have you no shame sir?”
Repubs: “No, I really don’t.”
Dems: “Ah. Well. Nevertheless…”
In order for shame to work, you need to have respect for the person attempting to shame you. If you don’t, it just bounces off you. This is why a six year old calling you poopy pants gets laughed off.
