"Tell me what is harder to overcome: Kicking out your State Representative who corrupts the process with your next vote by those who pay attention..."

Most states are gerrymandered to elect a particular party member. It is actually quite hard to rid yourself of one who votes poorly. Although I'm in a Republican state, the district I'm in is heavily Democrat. Unless said member retires, there's no way to get rid of them, and they're merely replaced by someone as bad, and often worse. Same goes for my State Senator, as I'm in a Black Voting Rights Act-mandated seat. I also similarly have no say for Congressmember, which is Democrat and has been since U.S. Grant won his 2nd term in 1872. U.S. Senator is the only office I can have influence over because I am outvoted on all the other contests. It would be unthinkable to give up that right to my corrupt, ultraleftist state legislator and incoming State Senator, neither of which represents me whatsoever.

So you are incapable of moving? Also, your General Assembly composition would send two Republican Senators regardless. And if you read further (Ignoring expanding voting “rights”), the reason why your are gerrymandered is because idiots who have no business voting put people in position to create a “power class”.
