    That’s because California is so fucking massive. We could break it into 4+ states and it would probably benefit the Dems in Congress

      It would not creat more seats though, maybe a couple. The East is over represented and the west is under represented. Period. We keep getting shafted by terrible policy that doesn’t have a place in our environments. If we weren’t doing things ourselves, shit wouldn’t get done.

        What we need is to repeal the Reapportionment Act of 1929 that limits the House of Representatives at 435 members.

        That’s what’s really fucking states like California.

        Each new state would get 2 senators added to the senate. You are right about the house of Representatives though
