I don't think the balance of power question is an arbitrary one but if you want to ratchet up the sectarian and partisan strife to 800000% levels then ya go ahead and ram through DC and PR. No one is saying to make the WH and Congress, the relevant portions of DC in the OG form envisioned by the constitution, a state. They're saying that it's insane that we have 3 million people living around them with 0 representation in the senate or house. The constitution also says that Hillary should have been Trump's VP. | ||

After all that talk about what he thinks of them and his immigration policy. Very interesting. GA UPDATE: https://twitter.com/DecisionDeskHQ/status/1324449301494378501?s=20 Since last time: Lead now 12.7k Biden +3k Trump + 2k Only 60% gain for Biden, not enough. Georgia is starting to slip away. The amount of Turkeys voting for Christmas this election is surprising to say the very least. | ||

You alter the balance of power to ensure one party rule youre going to force the red states to just say fuck you again and youll say nuh huh you cant leave and then we'll have 1860 all over again. | ||

Selfish fucks here though, seriously the games of fucking chicken Ive played in my car, these people are homi or suicidal and they will legit endanger their entire family's lives to cut ahead in a lane. I've taken to imagining a humongous blue hand that grabs these people's cars and pankcakes them and frisbees them into the distance like a cartoon. | ||

Pelosi has failed in her leadership of the Dems. She has no idea wtf she is doing and does not understand how to construct a winning democratic message. Though, this has, and always will be, the reason why Republicans remain relevant in this current political battle. | ||

Spanberger is avoiding the self-reflection she should engage in, campaigning and expecting to win on being an incredibly vanilla civil service-oriented politician is an increasingly out of date approach to US politics. That said, I can see why what she sees says otherwise, Northern Virginia is a very unusual place all US things considered. | ||

This must have to do with religious conservativism, I have no idea. Maybe it's that "I got mine" mentality that more feeble-minded populace seems to posess. | ||

Yes this very much true,even in europe a large part of the left wing partys (which are left of the democrats) are more maried to rightwing economic and social policies then traditional leftwing policies. Now on cnn: "nevada says count will take days" ? Biden almost 4m ahead in the overall vote,thats an impressive margin. | ||

That only worked because we were very centralized within states on the issue. The only people who didn't want to fight a civil war to preserve slavery in the South were the slaves. In the states that tracked the popular vote and allowed Lincoln on the ballot, he got 1% of the vote or less (VA, basically. KY had similar numbers). Most southern states didn't even have him on the ballot. This is nothing like most of our states where it's looking like 35-45% are on the other side. Even CA is like 1/3 GOP. PR is a perfectly winnable state for the GOP, if they toned down their insane racism. DC not really, but if we're excluding people on this basis, let's just join ND and SD back into one state again (they got split for this exact type of nonsense about the Senate). We could split Nebraska or something if you really insist on it. On November 06 2020 05:41 PhoenixVoid wrote: A fractious call between House Democrats involving Rep.

I know it's not quiiite the case here because it looks that Georgia won't matter but still. I would be so pissed off to live in California or DC. Butbut... the constitution and the founding fathers.... I remember my father explained this to me when I was a kid, and I already found it illogical and awful. How did they even come up with something that unfair and complicated when most other countries make it simple and fair, and why wasn't it changed ages ago? It is very sad that this is the election system of the most powerful democracy in the world. The only saving grace is that both candidates know the rules of the game, but making the mast majority of voters irrelevant is a disgrace. | ||

So what your saying is humans in these areas don’t deserve representation because other people currently being over represented by the current systems flaws might get angry and be unreasonable. I’m not following this line of reasoning. Holding America hostage is not a valid argument against DC statehood. | ||
