California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced just one day after the U.S. officially withdrew from the World Health Organization (WHO) that his state would become the first to join the organization’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, in a seeming rebuke of the Trump administration’s withdrawal from international collaborations.
Newsom traveled this week to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he was scheduled to speak at an event but was canceled at the last moment. During his trip, he met with WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
We need an East Rome West Rome split but its blue state vs red state. Each get their own President, pool Military powers
Or maybe nix the president position and just have the house and senate vote for everything like a council.
Or maybe a parliament with proper representation instead of this stupid system you’ve got going right now.
That’s realistically the only fix for gerrymandering. It’s a powerful weapon, and I don’t foresee the two parties honoring any agreement not to use it.
How does a parliament fix gerrymandering?
Ditch the senate and bump the house to like 1500 members imo.
Keep the Senate, bump the house to like 1500
It should be actually, if not for the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, based on the 1910 census.
At the time the average was 210,000 constituents per representative, now we’re over 770,000 per representative. And those are averages, some districts are much higher and lower.
Congress set the current limit, they can change it. It doesn’t require an amendment or anything complicated.
Yeah but why would they dilute their power?
The most obvious would be to prevent the exact situation we’re in now. But that would also require more than a handful of them to not be psycho/sociopaths.
