Lifting the 435 seat limit on the size of the U.S. House would make the Electoral College fairer.

111. We both know National Popular Vote will never prevail.

I'd like to see it too, but it can't work unless it's adopted everywhere-it doesn't help if its only adopted by SOME of the states.

My proposal could be adopted by a vote of Congress, could be a powerful tool for getting people to the polls to flip Congress, could help build resistance to the voter suppression laws that are keeping people from the polls. It couldn't be derailed by Republican state legislatures(the ones that would have to adopt National Popular Vote). And "justiciability" doesn't enter into it because Marbury V. Madison established the principle of judicial revue of both congressional and presidential actions.

If you disagree with me or with anyone else, but you have an obligation do that without treating people as if they aren't entitled to disagree with you, that all of us should simply defer to your allegedly superior wisdom.

On the Left, we are supposed to have a situation in which everyone is treated with some basic level of respect. We are supposed to be the part of the spectrum that VALUES human beings. That's why I object to your tone. When you post, you never leave it at just disagreeing with people and trying to disprove their arguments on the merits-you use contempt and derision, and you do it with a lot of people. That's something people on the Right would do...we're supposed to be better than that, at least with each other.

That's why I am making a point of saying that you aren't using an appropriate tone for this board.
