It’s even worse when you realize that all four levels of government are “elected” by a minority population to represent the interest of the majority . A minority population that in comparison to the majority is white, male, less educated and more religious, you know when they talk about how they are “real America”
House- should be fairly even because it is population based but has not kept up with population growth and shifts. Additionally, gerrymandering makes it so despite large population centers in cities they get carved out to get less representation or no representation at all as tiny parts are incorporated into large rural districts.
Senate- every state gets two which means this is where the real check on large population coastal cities interest should arise.
President- as discussed EC values Jim Bob the rural farmer over the sell out that moved away to a city for a better life.
Judiciary- nominated by a president that was elected by a minority.
