Can we get 25 million volunteers to move proportionally to red states for the next few years?

I don't even care so much about the Bicameral Compromise; but I do care that the electoral votes apply toward electing the President.

Representative democracy is unstable and corruptible by design and it can't be anything else.

The Kentucky fried chicken chef guy is absolutely SLAYING those short shorts and boots 🔥🤩

Edit: apparently I already made this joke and forgot about it lmao

While they benefited from it later at this point Virginia was a population powerhouse, the actual states pushing for this were the small New England states, I think some of them only gave up their giant western claims(google 'long connecticut') in exchange for it.

It was also a compromise. Proto-Federalists wanted a direct democracy determined by population, Proto-Democratic-Republicans wanted each state to get one vote. In the end they split the difference, House was determined by population, Senate by states, and the president by a hybrid system that didn't fully give either what they wanted.

If you went back in time to stop the electoral college you could just as easily get a 'One vote per state for president, 26 votes wins' system instead of a direct democracy.

To be fair, small states would never agreed to the constution without the senate.

Southern states would not have agreed to the constitution without the 3/5 compromise.

The United States would not exist without these compromises. The constitition is, as CGP Grey calls it, a Compromise-titution.
