      OPINION: America would be in a significantly less fucked up place if California and Washington had a proportional amount of power in government compared to their population.

      abolish the senate. reapportion the house immediately and at each census (the actual reason the 10 year census is in the constitution). congressional districts to be apportioned by a fair algorithm with no exceptions. implement congressional term limits (max 2 consecutive terms).

      put an age ceiling on public office. lets start at 70 and see how that works out. implement term limits for Supreme Court justices. no justice shall serve for more than 1 term and a term shall be limited to 10 years.

      this was the original constitutional intent, as far as I can tell, but it doesn't appear to be working very well

      idk it just feels like an all-powerful federal govt of so much land is such a bad idea, also open to far-reaching corruption (or legal corruption: lobbying)

      How is it any worse than a state government, though?

      State governments are like federal but cheaper.

      smaller governed body = fewer people feel "left out", faster feedback loops, greater participation per person, also you can move states if you don't like it

      imo its 100% necessary for functioning democracy. the legitimacy of a democratic government comes from consent of the governed which requires strong consensus. you can't expect strong consensus from such large and disparate groups of people as we currently have in the U.S.

          thus we have an illegitimate fedgov and everyone knows it and hates it and fears it. it's the major source of the heat of the culture war. the fear of "the others" having power over you at the next election. we have to stop this.

          Who doesn't think the average Stategov is illegitimate, though?
