Sure would be wild if we didn't have the House of Representatives. Oh, and how many electoral votes again?

 

Yep.... you're right. Here's a great video showing just that...

Lol. It's funny because it's true.

 

The Senate has the power to confirm judges, the Senate shapes the judicial branch. Voters in small states have way more power to affect the judiciary than those in larger states.

 

You clearly didn’t understand what my “argument” was (and it wasn’t an argument, it was a statement). Ie, there is considerable political diversity in almost EVERY State. Even hard core Oklahoma has 33% Dems. They just happen to be spread out more evenly in Oklahoma than other states.

But if you look at the general trend, the nesting habits of Repubs tend to be the sparsely populated rural areas, those of Dems tend to be the big cities, and the suburbs are pretty much split. Nothing special about CA in that regard. It’s just bigger and more populous than most states.

 

Now compare the House of Representatives.

 

Back in the 1790s, two or three states had more population than all the others of the 13, combined. They set it up that way. Intentionally. To have everyone work together, so they set up the House, to give bigger voice to the high population states and the Senate to give bigger voice to the low population states.

All laws have to be passed by both. Everyone had to work together.

That’s wild, isn’t it?

Wisdom.

 

So..... you really do want absolute control? Do you even know how the laws are made in this country and what is the point of the House of Representatives?

 

All one needs to do is look at one way Uhaul rates into and out of CA to know the actual truth.

 

Um, no…you should really drill down into data before you read a title and start quoting sources. Here is an example of another data point in the Census info you purport to cite to that hardly supports the mindless echo chamber narrative…

“Alabama, which also could lose a congressional seat depending on the final census count, does have a budding immigrant population, some without legal status, that’s helping to boost the state’s population—though it’s growing more slowly than the country as a whole, said Nyesha Black, a demographer at the University of Alabama’s Center for Economic and Business research. “One of the reasons our school-age population hasn’t dropped, which would create more issues, is the growth in Hispanic students,” Black said. “The reality is that it isn’t just California that’s an immigrant-receiving state. It’s Alabama as well.”

…so, Alabama would have a population decline and House loss — those darned over-taxing socialists again! - but for those dependable immigrants! Sure, that really supports your narrative, but you keep doing you…it’s cute.
