    boo fucking hoo. they have 40 plus representatives, Wyoming is a big state. 2 senators and a congressman. Person could easily argue a Californians vote is worth much more, that state has a whole team going in the house. the ratio is basically static, except for states that no longer the population to get one. Like do you want Wyoming and north dakota to share a house member? That’s not practical either.

      Wyoming is a big state.

      In area, sure, but most of it is empty or populated by more cows than humans. You’re basically saying that empty land and cows deserve equal representation to humans.

      You could, but you’d be very very wrong. A third as much is not more.

      Wouldn’t be any more stupid than the current situation 🤷

          So where do you think I’m from?

          By your own logic, I’d guess you’re from somewhere with more livestock than people and a severely underfunded education system.

                i am so surprised you’d immediately say that. just shocked. You’ve quite the grasp of west coast slang and politics that’s either method acting or bullshit,

                  Yeah, the truth often comes as a shock to wilfully ignorant victims of brainwashing such as yourself.

                  Your guess isn’t even on the right continent 😄

                    I have real doubts you’re on the continent you pretend. If your really are, you’re oddly obsessed with american life and never spell anything wrong.
