[β] Chriswild@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) You're literally arguing that people shouldn't get equal representation because you think land votes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Melkath@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm literally not. I'm saying checks and balances should exist because we are a country of states with different environments, different hardships, and different cultures, not a country of Californians. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Chriswild@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Checks and balances that give inequality.

So 1 state having all the power is equality? In your mind, equal = Californian? 1 large homogenized (probably too big a world for you, but you can google) population has the right to rule over every other population? 49 groups of people get overruled because 1 of the groups has more people? That is why checks and balances are in place. To ensure EVERYONE gets representation, not just one powerful group. Each state does have States rights though, so they can do as they please with their group. Unless it is something that has successfully made it through checks and balances to be enforced on the nation as a whole. EVERYONE should be represented at the Federal level, not just the majority group.

[β] Melkath@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) This is true, they have more representatives in congress than any other state. Thank you for explaining how Congress works, and contradicting yourself in the process. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] 3volver@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) You clearly misunderstand proportionality. You keep referring to the raw number of representatives they have without factoring in their population. I'd be surprised if you've ever passed a mathematics class in your entire life. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Melkath@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (3 children) You're just being willfully moronic now. You are 1 person with 54 representatives in congress, 52 in House, 2 in Senate. I am 1 person with 8 representatives in congress, 6 in House, 2 in Senate. A) You have more federal representation than me. B) That is exactly how the system was designed. To have 2 bodies in congress, one population based, and one not. It was designed that way for a reason.
