If 400 flight attendants from a struggling airline is your bellwether of "driving out business," then you might be a partisan.

That's nothing. Think bigger companies.

This is true of most things..yet we have page after page of people bashing CA as if everyone her has one hive mind … like a cult. Makes me laugh, just shows ignorance of the variety within the state. Like no one has ever heard of Reagan or Nixon.

Yes, this is pretty close to a map for population distribution too. But dirt don’t vote.

More than 50% of the US population resides in 10 states. Dirt doesn’t vote, but we have a system that gives the other less populous states a fair voice. Liberals like higher education but they hate the Electoral College.

"fair" = minority rule.

Also excargodog picked the 2016 county map. There's no fact that he won't cherry pick.

Every true patriot knows that land votes, not people.

The reason the electoral system isn't "fair" is because all of the states signed on to that CONSTITUTIONAL provision when they joined the union. Presumably many would not have joined if that would have subjugated them to the tyranny of being ruled by the populist whims of people in distant, more populous states. Hmmm, that actually sounds a lot like the American Revolution.

There's a reason it's the way it is.

Don't like it? That's what constitutional conventions are for. Is that too hard? Then try to implement a non-constitutional electoral system and impose that on other states, and see what happens.
