      Really? Please explain. Like, I get the DEI joke, but the fact all these little states are red isn’t some law of the Universe. They have been blue and can be again.

      Unless I’m missing some deeper joke? Apparently I am unless the down votes are just circlejerking.

      EDIT: Maybe you all think the Senate should be determined by population? If so, that’s what the House is for. Uncap it.

        The house and electoral college need to be tied directly to population. It’s already a clown fest give California 65 reps to Wyoming’s one

        It’s not that it should be by population. It’s that the idea of the senate itself is outdated.

        Now the cities are the source of almost all of America’s wealth, power, education, and population, but they are forced to bend the knee to a tiny portion of the country. The whole system is way out of wack.

        Carving up California into more states wouldn’t fix that, as it would still put more power into fewer hands.
