This is one of the scariest schemes yet by the left. Look at the blue states and their populations. This is a scheme that will hand elections over to just a few states with large populations and we all know which way they lean. If that happens you can forget any representation for the smaller populated states.
There is a very good reason why our congress is designed the way it is, and that is so that those few states with big populations don’t get a controlling advantage.

Scary is right. A sure prescription for civil war. If the left think that the south and the midwest (flyover country) will take this lying down they are sadly mistaken.
You got that right... The men who came up with our form of government did so after analyzing why governments fail. Which is why they decided on a republican form of government, broken into thirds. And only one half, of one third (the House of Representatives), of that government was ever to be selected by popular vote. I honestly believe that the 17th Amendment was a HUGE mistake. It made the Senate sensitive to the political winds. I believe that this is why the Senate was given control over treaties and approving political appointments, while the House was given the strings to the pocketbook. The Senate was supposed to be immune to politics, which is why the state legislatures originally appointed Senators, and the members of the House would be more directly responsible to the voters, i.e. the tax payers. At least, that was the original intent.
