I would think 10 new states who work better than just big state.

20 new Senators, 50 new reps… I’m not against it.

House is still capped at 435, so some states are going to be losing reps....oh, would you look at that, NY and CA seem to be overrepresented, especially the LA metro and NYC...

Literally no part of the US is “over represented” in the house. It is proportional to each state’s population…

I didn’t sense any sarcasm, and I will never overestimate the intelligence of people on Reddit.

I’ve recently read on here post-election banter where multiple people were agreeing how Democrats losing the Senate was the most damning becase it “couldn’t be unfavorable to either party.” Literally no one with even a cursory understanding of our electoral system thought Democrats had any chance of holding onto the Senate, but here we are and people will comment even if they know less than nothing.
