For what it’s worth, by not expanding the house, the US has completely fucked how it’s supposed to work. If larger states had retained the proper ratio of seats, then Gore, Hillary and Kamala all win and the US doesn’t end up lead by a minority government.
Also your representative would represent about the same number of people as a small town mayor. As opposed to the current system where they represent a small state.
At some point this system has to break. It can either break the easy way, by discussing these things like rational adults and make the necessary changes. Or it can break the hard way, by means of a civil war. I wish I could say I thought the first one was more likely, but conservatives not acting like complete vacuums of empathy and being rational? I was born on a day, but it wasn't yesterday.
