I don’t really care but downvoting seems weasely. If you disagree with a post, saw why.
@LuFins-Dad said in Should the US House of Representatives Have more People?:
As I commented earlier, communication technology has made much of the need unnecessary.
But I tell you what… I’ll support growing the House by say 25% if we go back to having the State Legislatures appoint their US Senate representatives.
Horrible idea in my view given the state legislature’s power to construct their house delegations, something never envisioned by the founders.
It’s hard to imagine it being more effective with, say, 700 rather than 435.
And it would put lobbying out of reach of small organizations.
I’m curious if, in general, such manifestos have any additional copycat effect than just the event itself.
For the most part the objections seem to be based on not wanting one’s community to look bad. Analogous to the hatred of libs of TikTok
Strictly speaking false but true in practice.
