This has nothing to do with my point and, tbh, sounds like a canned response that you just mindlessly repeat instead of seeing whether it applies to the situation. To explain: suppose the population of Cuban ex-pats decided to disperse all over the country. The political makeup of the country, in terms of median voter opinion, is exactly the same, yet the net effect on foreign policy is massive. That is not a voting symptom that "represents everybody".
- yesco 4y agoIt is the "United States" of America, so yes if a community hypothetically obliterated itself by dispersing over a bunch of different states, they wouldn't receive the same level of representation anymore. But they wouldn't really be a "community" anymore either so I don't really get the point you are trying to make.
