“Not exactly, in the Senate every state gets 2 votes. The presidential vote and house are weighted to population.”
I phrased that poorly but that’s roughly what I meant; it was easier to say than look at the states with the low population counts. It doesn’t matter how many candidates are in the house if a fifth can shut down any progress. It seems like often, the unpopular vote is the what we get. And no way to do anything about politicians that say one thing and do another.
“If these reps were concerned about their home state maybe this would work, but it’s all national party politics now.”
This is why all of this sucks. What we’re shown and what the world sees is political theatre. They go behind closed doors and amicably negotiate. A politician that called this out, I haven’t seen another video or anything from him in two years.
People love to shit on the US like we can actually do anything but only base it on what they see on regulated media.
