McConnell Lets Slip Republicans Plan On Doing Nothing In 2016 And The Reason Is Infuriating

44. I really don't understand this.

I know that states with fewer residents tend to be more rural and they want "equal" representation with higher population states that often tend to have those population numbers in urban areas. But is that fair to the majority of our population?

Just because you own more land than urban dwellers do, that doesn't mean you should have more representation in congress, especially when rural land owners tend to be far more conservative than liberal, and urbanites tend to be more liberal...so it's unjustly swayed to give more power to conservatives.

This also tends to give more power to conservative rural old white men, who hold a lot more land than minorities do. While urban areas often have higher percentages of minorities in their mix.

This is something Bernie might want to focus on.
