Not dramatic at all. People want representation. I have NO representation for my tax dollars when all my "representatives" are of the satanic Left, who at best, ignore, or at worst, mock my sentiments and opinions.
On the basis of political preference? Either you don’t live in CA or you don’t understand the inherent corruption of a one-party state, especially one of the democrat variety. It has nothing to do with politics; it has everything to do with basic habitability. Come spend a day in San Francisco’s Mission District, or LA’s skid row and talk to us about political preference.
