    No, land is inanimate. Fools decided people in vacant areas get a minimum voting credit based on the empty space between themselves and the next loner. They gave it an arbitrary number and that was 2. Land does not pull a lever or hang a chad.

    We are more. You exist at our pleasure. You've pushed your luck.

    it's based on representation in the Senate ( 2 senators) added to the number of representatives in Congress.
    It's reflective of the make up of Congress itself, not "arbitrary"

    Wrong Einstein. You really aren't this dumb are you? Spending tonight worshipping at your Shrine to Trump?
    The Senators represent and are elected by the people. They are therefore respresenting and voting on behalf of the people of the state. They are not representing acres of "land" and empty cotton fields.

    US Constitution 17th Amendment

    1. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

    2: When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies:* Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.
    Personally, I think it is ridiculous that 35 million Californians are represented by two Senators, while five million people in Kansas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Idaho, and Nebraska are represented by ten Senators.

    You think that because you're a fucking nazi.

    You want more senators for Cali so it can dictate to the rest of America, then chop it up into 6 States and you'll get 12 senators, dumgass
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    if it wasn't done that way there wouldn't even be a constitution........it was a requirement of states like Maine and Rhode Island to get them to join the union, just as states like New York and Virginia insisted on representation by population.......
