We traded tyranny of the majority for tyranny of the *minority*
And the minority has spent decades being manipulated and lied to. If only we could agree to try and build a better nation, than spend every other 4 years with conservatives running around breaking things and pretending like they are getting anything done other than stealing our future for their donors.

And yet the blue area has 12 more Senators than the red (20 Senators for 10 states and up to 8 Senators since the red area includes parts of 4 states)

And it’s like 8 senators versus 20

when lots were moving west during 19th and 20th century they more went to southwest

Blue has way more goats though.

Also the red spans just 4 states, and only portions of 3 of them, which is 8 US Senators.
The blue shows 10 states, which means 20 US Senators represent them.
That’s a ridiculously stupid system.

The US desperately needs to fix Congress. It’s ridiculous that those states have so much power in the senate.

The blue part is such a beautiful place though, that covers millions of acres of wild prairie, national parks and grassland. The GYE watershed, ancient volcanoes and herds of buffalo, and wild horses that inspired so many books and movies. Tunnels hold our nukes there and trillions in agriculture and mining. We are a beautiful and diverse country.

MN is doing some heavy lifting for that blue area too. Without it the contrast becomes significantly more stark

Even with all that blue being much bigger than the red area, republicans still won somehow. Rigged as hell.

the House Repesentation may be OK, but the Senate greatly over-represents them.
ThePensiveE on
Yes yes, but they have many more Senators and a larger say in the electoral college because people used to really love owning other human beings.

As a person who lives in a blue area, this is exactly why representation in both the house and senate needs to be proportional to population. Land does not vote. Furthermore, this is also why the electoral college needs to be eliminated and ranked choice voting instituted across the country. Binary choices aren’t the answer, it puts everyone in a „lesser of two evils“ situation.

It’s way past time to end the Electoral College, which is a vestige of slavery.

People vote, not land.
Yet have so little political power in comparison.
