How is an article about a Federalist attempting to overstep the bounds of power supposed to convince me that state level decision making is wrong? I'm not Republican. Additionally, most states I've lived in harbor a grudge against the disproportionate power of California in their own daily management.
- creaghpatr 9y agoPretty sure that's why a bill has to pass the house and the senate. One is proportional and the other is a nod to each state as a representative in the 50 state 'republic'
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoThe House of Representatives isn't remotely proportional; it's still land-based. It divides the land into little districts, and then runs a FPTP election in each.
- yahna 9y agoIt's supposed to divide the land into areas such that each has about the same population. It's not even remotely close, and that's why the system is so broken.
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoOh, so you're against actually-existing states-rights advocates and their Party? Then aren't you basically just preaching another form of political utopianism without application to our current situation?
