Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You can't get 435 people to agree on things, there's no hope of getting 6,000.
And yet somehow in a country of 340 million people we see these polls:
But zero of those things are anywhere close to legislation because our congress is under the thumb of a dozen celebrity personalities and party flip floppers. The more diluted the voting power, the harder it is to make personal backroom deals and buy elections.
Inflating the House doesn't solve similar problems with the Senate or Executive + Judicial branches, but it's better than nothing.
Those aren't the people writing legislation. It's super easy to say you are for or against something when it's anonymous and there's no accountability.
It's a different deal when it's on you to write the laws and get a majority to go along.
The reason legislation gets sticky is due to the absurd legislation riders + omnibus bills and horse trading that goes on to get them through. And that issue has gotten even worse because candidates represent far too many people.
If a representative only has to worry about ~30k people (~24k active voters) in a hyperlocal area, they can very easily manage campaigning and running themselves. That would be about 1 mi² of NYC; you could probably cover that with a poster campaign and a few town halls. That small of a voter base could skew very radically to any side of the political spectrum.
With 750k people you become reliant on big donors and national party funds. Vote against the party and you'll be primaried. Additionally, your voter base is much more diverse which biases candidates toward lukewarm and inoffensive platforms. That stifles your ability to form coalitions and reinforces partisan milquetoast gridlock.
Yup, now imagine all the riders, poison pills, etc. with 6,000 congress critters...
