I don't hope for it and I'm offended you think I do. I'm just acknowledging the facts of what's happening. You don't believe your own words, you're intellectually inconsistent, and you're arguing in bad faith. But other than that you're totally trustworthy.

Not a blessed thing. He is not a problem solver. Theirs was a protest vote, and now they did it again. The most economically depressed areas voted for Trump again.

Reason # 500 how we all know Joe Biden didn't win the election, the left still wants to get rid of the EC. You people are Boring.

It’s time for open borders with immediate citizenship and voting rights too! Anything to win!!!
Kinda... maybe with a bit of self preservation thrown in?
I get to the issue you cite. The problem is that this logic shifts the politicians only speaking to cities and their needs. Thus short sighted. If it's proportional yet still electoral spread within states it makes all votes count. Forces politicians to speak to people not party.
I worry too. I believe metro areas w more population would have similar needs which would make the sparsely populated get screwed. This is why I like proportional yet within the electoral college. Otherwise deeper polarization and elitism fostered.
1/3rd of the countries vote would be done in 4 fucking states! What do you not understand about that?! How is that fair to the population of the other 46 states?!

Imo leave senate as is because there is a reason to have house in population and senate on statehood. Thus IMO washington DC should not be a state. It should join one of its surrounding states. PR should be a state.
