Yes, that would be a problem for our democracy, if we had one.

BUT

We don't.

Ifyou truth in advertising was required forthe political system the Democrats wouldbe have to rename their party. It would be called “The Soros Party “

Vox has all the intellectual weight of My Weekly Reader.

Vox is upset that everyone in America does not want to live be enslaved in a perpetually Progtard DildoCrat run Sh!thole city plantation such as Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco, or DC.

By my reckoning, California has 6 US senators.

Two in California, two in Nevada, one in Arizona, one in Colorado.

This is from the Lefty voters who invaded while escaping Cartelfornia.

[rktman]

Yes we do have 2 in Nevaduh.

[bk1000]

I guess the Dims are all about repealing that pesky 17th amendment now.

[beancounter13]

This is a non-issue. If the Senate were a real problem, they should propose breaking up some of the larger states to provide more representation in the Senate.

I am sure Upsate NY would love to be free from NYC, and I am willing to bet that Inland CA would love to be free from the coasts. Maybe Orange County and the Bay Area should apply for their own statehood. Let’s see how that would work out.

By 2040, liberals will live in only 15 of the nation’s 50 states. Long term demographics work against them.

They should enjoy their current stranglehold on the country while it lasts.

[Gumdrop]

So rural areas a whiter, less educated, etc. than cities....

This is classical snobbery. We all know that liberals consider a college degree to be an indication of ‘higher education’. There is no value put on vocational training in welding, plumbing, electrical technology etc. Todays’ farmer has to have a lot of technical and mechanical knowledge. Are farmers considered to be uneducated - as compared to college degrees in art history, women’s studies, psychology, history of hip-hop, etc? I rest my case.

Is cofounder Colin McAuliffe related to the idiot former VA governor Terry McAuliffe?

The other D4P group cofounder is :

Sean McElwee, a co-founder of the progressive think tank Data for Progress.

[mewzilla]

Repeal 17th Amendment.

Bet Vox isn’t in favor of that..
