First the little states are already obscenely over represented in the Legislative branch and in the electoral college.
And...People count, not counties or square miles. Too bad the people don't count in the Legislative and the Electoral College.

Believe it or not the U.S. is still rule by consent. If the fly over states decide to just quit consenting it would not be a good thing or much the big cities could do about it.

The Founding Father's were saying frankly that the US is not a Democracy.

No one can alter the EC since its enshrined in the constitution. So stop the idiotic scare mongering.
In the 90% land area, rocks don't get to vote, people do. But the way these occupants vote, perhaps they have rocks in their heads.

Surely the country doesn't need four more years of which way do I need to turn to get off the stage.

Any reaction to Robert F. Kennedy Jr? He might be a contender.

I don't know anything about him. I liked JFK and Bobby Sr. I suppose you would call him. JFK was a fiscal conservative comparatively. Suspect the world would be a better place if he had served a couple of terms.

Camala is a moron. Trump pisses too many people off to win.
Looks like Xi will end up running the world while the U.S. implodes.

Hey Zero, welcome back.
AT least Biden has not been impeached, so that alone a major improvement over the TFG. And he spends most of his time in his office governing, unlike our "beloved" moron who spent all his time tweeting or playing golf, so better ROI on our taxes.

^^Trump pissing off people is what makes him so attractive to his cult and the idiot that he is keeps playing up to them for their donations. If they stop sending him money, he is bound to turn and attack them instead.

You can ignore Biden's short comings because he is your party head. Like an ostrich sticking his head in the sand.
This country is not doing well by most any measure.
The education system sucks compared to most developed countries. There are entire city school districts who have no graduate that can read at a 12th grade level.
The dollar is going to lose it's status as the world's currency, just a matter of when. You can't borrow or print out of thin air 40% of what you spend. Talk about voodoo economics.
We have maybe 4 million uneducated immigrants who just waltzed in.
The value of your dollar is taking a nose dive.
Many banks have to much money loaned out based on 0% interest to cover. More will fail.
China is going to take Taiwan.
And on and on.

The great Karnac speaks! Did they have a pair of used crystal balls just laying around the cardiac unit when you got your surgery? (rolls eyes)
