Why do we keep losing? We are the good guys

38. Too many structural disadvantages

The end result is that rural people’s votes count more than ours. I wish there was something we could do about it short of civil war. But as long as changing the system requires cooperation from those who are advantaged by it, change is never going to happen.
Even though the structure of the Senate is wrong IMO (giving land more power than people) it’s understandable why it was created. But the House was the one body that was *supposed* to represent the people, one person one vote. With gerrymandering, that is gone too. The solution is to end gerrymandering and greatly increase the size of Congress to, say, one rep per 400000 citizens. The size of Congress was set at 437 to limit the influence of big cities - which, 100 years ago, were teeming with recent immigrants. Nothing sacred about that number.
But these changes will never happen. In due time THE PEOPLE will get completely fed up with tyranny of the minority, and there will be a civil war.
