The problem America has is that the entire system of government was predicated on necessary compromise which no longer works in any credible way.
America needs to rid itself of the “bicameral” fantasy government in which vast stretches of farm and ranch land are accorded the same importance as urban areas that have actual people in them.
I will agree that places like Montana, Wyoming and North Dakota deserve as much consideration as Connecticut, Virginia and Rhode island when cows, coyotes and chickens are accorded the vote.
We need to go to a strict “one person – one vote” operation!
You DO understand that the House of Representatives CEASED being “the people’s House” in 1912 when a bunch of morons, idiots and imbeciles decided amongst themselves that the whole idea of “representational government” had gone entirely too far and so they put an “artificial” CAP on the number of “Representatives” allowed in the House! It was supposed to be based on population but they put a stop to THAT nonsense, immediately!
I’ve heard the argument that the Actual number of Representatives WOULDN’T FIT in the Capital Building! That pathetic excuse is beneath contempt! Their meeting place is NOT HALLOWED GROUND! It can absolutely be torn down and be rebuilt! We NEED better “representational” government and we need it NOW! At one time the idea of “One person- One vote” wasn’t a pipe dream until a bunch of miscreants started fearing people would start outvoting their cows so they changed it.
