Wyoming has one representative. NY has 27 representatives. That is where the "will of the people" is expressed. You're complaining about a problem that doesn't exist. Well, yeah, but the 'mocrats don't want it to be that way. They want it a way that they can have what they want and the devil take the hindmost.

The era of hyper self esteem means these people are too full of themselves to realize how !@#$ing stupid they are. That's not even basic civics. It's first grade math. "Why should people in Wyoming get more say than people in New York?" They LITERALLY don't, if you do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 1 hour ago, LSHMEAB said: No. What YOU are doing is asserting that people who live in Wyoming should have more of a say than someone who lives in New York. The majority of the country votes democratic and yet the right holds all three branches of government. That is fundamentally unfair. I understand that you like it because it benefits your ideology, but our government does not represent the will of the people. That's unfortunate. What you're lamenting is that the Federal government does not exclusively represent the will of Californians. The only portion of our government intended to represent the people, at all is the House of Representatives. It's why they are literally called Representatives, and why all law is supposed to originate there. The Senate wasn't intended to represent the interests of the people at all. It wasn't until the 17th Amendment was passed that they were even directly elected. The Senate is designed to represent the interests of the State governments in an equal capacity. The President also isn't a representative of the people. He is a figure head, only vested with the power to carry out the laws passed by Congress. Laws the people found beneficial to them, which were then signed off on by the States. This system of government is the only reason we even have a country. Without this system there is literally no reason for the overwhelming majority of the country to remain part of the Union. The argument you're really making is that you want to do away with a democratic republican form of government, and to replace it with a tyrannical form over government which forces the Bible Belt, the south west, and the bread basket of the country to bend perpetual knee to the State of California. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dumbest are the ones that want to pass state laws saying "My state's delegates should go to the national majority vote winner." Literally, they're arguing for not being represented at all, and letting CA and TX decide for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is EXACTLY what the Democrats want. Don't forget the refrain after the 2016 election: "They voted against their own self-interest. They shouldn't be allowed to vote."

DC Tom Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I just had someone block me on Twitter, calling me "wilfully ignorant," for saying Kavanaugh should be tried in a court of law, not on the street. Looks like I stumbled on Twitter's gatorman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a loser issue with no evidence, and she no longer has "free" attorneys to pursue frivolities for her. The Democrats have dropped her like a bad habit by now.
