Thom, you write, "The Democratic Party is facing a crisis that it’s experienced only once before in its history: the near-complete loss, for multiple generations, of control of the Senate." That means the Democrats once had the votes of the people in those small states. Getting constitutional changes is next to impossible. Would it not be a better strategy to see why the Democrats had won those states. Likely it's because they had policies that told the workers in those states the Democrats understood their financial concerns and had direct policies to help them as FDR once did. Having considered what I have just written, getting a change in the Democratic party back to actual concerns for the working class also seems next to impossible, but perhaps a little more possible than a constitutional change.
