    760,000 constituents per district in 2025. That’s compared to 213,000 when the number of US House seats was fixed at 435 back in 1920. Don’t even get me started on the US Senate. Two people representing 50M. Fucking bananas way to run a “representative” democracy.

      Yep, but the system is built to keep 2 parties in power, so neither of them will change anything.

        The system was built by the elits to keep 2 parties in power to use either way to keep their interests in check.

        We can guess which elites won the bid this election… “Drill baby drill!” Fuck those pesky EPA laws, right?
