well the market will only support a limited number of career politicians and all these pols have baby pols to support and lots of young pols to put through the most expensive universities in the country, this is what happens after a few generations. It's like with fruit flies.

There should be something like 20,000 US representatives, btw. Having fewer is an intentional design decision to maintain the limitation of it being an upper class job.

That won't fix everything wrong with this country, but the "limited career pols" was very purposeful.

red/libertarian alliance to ratify the first proposed amendment from the Bill of Rights which would ensure no representative’s district contains more than 50,000 people

Even within the confines of representative democracy as it's implemented across the world, the US is only sitting at around 2/3 of the representatives it would be expected to have, one of four outliers in terms of very low level of representation. (The others being Israel, New Zealand and the Netherlands)

i'm excited to see what garbage the democrats put up in missouri, a state which they have almost certainly actually abandoned any hope for, so they can suck up the maximum amount of donations from idiots

i'm sad that that money will go to nowhere, since the democrats will get destroyed this year and thus the money will have nowhere to go

I remember when democrats actually existed in MO and were actually competitive. even outside of KC/STL

they just totally abandoned the state! and like central missouri has got some really poor areas that if like they offered any solutions for the rural poor or working class they would actually win again

even if it’s true, what are the democrats offering if they win? vote for the democrats so you can keep voting for the democrats? they don’t actually do anything!

the justification for voting for Dems has become wholly negative - you have to vote for them to keep the other party out of office*. there is no positive, they will do nothing for you or anyone you know. isn't that enough? no? well that makes you a fascist!

*but we also need a strong Republican party, so don't vote for Dems too much
