The 2024 election begs to differ

Well yes, but you realize that popular vote would DRASTICALLY change how parties campaign right? Like instead of heavily investing in swing states, they’d invest in the largest cities. Which, tend to vote democrat. By increasing their campaigning there, it’d consolidate more votes in urban areas for dems than conservatives could consolidate in the suburbs.

You can’t base a popular vote result on an electoral college system result. The way campaigns would function would be vastly different.

I think we need a better system, but popular vote would be too unfair to conservative states too imo. We need to uncap the House of Representatives. We’ve had the same number since the 1920s, yet the population has tripled. Make it so representatives are actually equal across population. Not 1 rep for 200,000 people and Wyoming and 1 per 3,000,000 in California.

I agree. I think uncapping the house and utilizing a independent 3rd party for redistricting each census would solve a lot of our issues regarding not utilizing bipartisan policies

Does that help them pass legislation though? I think the goal of fairness is important, I just don’t know if doubling the size of the house helps to make it more efficient when people always complain how inefficient congress is

It would likely lead to a more consistent house. With consistent districts you would have less shuffling with the amount of Dems/reps unless their policies were atrocious. This would likely lead to a liberal controlled house but they could adjust the amount of votes needed to pass bills thus making it a bipartisan solution
