States are the original gerrymandering.
Imagine if we redrew the state maps every few years. Oh no, my speed limit went down, I have to pay five cents per bag at the store, and the gax tax is not ten cents more per gallon. ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
But then November roles around and my vote is way more powerful than it was because now 2 million people are election a senator and in my old state 50 million are also electing a senator.
States obviously used to have cultural sway but pretending they are real in 2024 is absolutely hilarious.
Gerrymandering is just the cherry on top. Well, the cherry in the House.
