It's retarded. If there are more liberal people in the country, then our representation in DC should reflect that. What does it matter where they live? It's already skewed to the right in the senate with each state having equal representation regardless of population.Didn't make sense in ~1803, doesn't make sense now. But using the logic you proposed, California electoral votes should be roughly 4 times bigger than it is currently.
They gerrymandered back then and have been doing every since.
Remove the concept of gerrymandering and manipulating the vote and have every vote count.
The only reason you won't go for that is because 'your team would lose'. For you, and people like you, it's about being on the winning team. For me its about improving America and everyone who participates in its society.
There are clearly more people that lean to the left here as evidenced by six of the last seven general elections seeing more people cast votes for the Dem nominee, and yet we have a republican in the White House, republican control of the senate, republican control of the house, and a Supreme Court that will lean heavily to the right for generations to come. How is that fair and democratic representation??
