Statuses

Need a representative ratio closer to one like the founders had. The number of representatives once rose with population. Fewer NE states needed also.

@SparkAndromeda @MikeKofiA actually ranked choice voting would accomplish that better.... and the EC, ironically,gives an opportunity to promote 3rd parties as some states are so one-sided people can vote 3rd party without fear of disrupting the major party outcome.

@vanillaopinions The "republic not a democracy" line is literally just a way of invoking the two parties' names and creating associations of authoritative legitimacy with one over the other. It's not deeper than that and not enough people call this out.

@Tim30781874 do you ever wonder why it is put this way, that the word republic "appears"? why they dont just come out and say the constitution says we are a republic? It is put this way as a rhetorical trick because the Constitution's only reference to republic is in regard to the states

#ElectionDay One of this age’s great crank ideas, that the U.S. is a “republic” and not a “democracy,” is gaining so much ground that people in Michigan are trying to rewrite textbooks to get rid of the term “democracy.”
