And yet somehow in a country of 340 million people we see these polls:
80% were not in favor of attacking Iran
80% believe abortion should be legal
60% thought Trump should be barred from office in 2021
Similar numbers want him removed now
65% are opposed to ICE’s reign of terror
> 50% want to abolish ICE completely
74% support universal free school lunches
62% support raising the federal minimum wage
67% want to raise teacher’s salaries
75% want to reverse the Citizens United ruling
88% support federal laws that would guarantee PTO
> 60% support replacing the Electoral College and FPTP voting
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.
You can’t get 435 people to agree on things, there’s no hope of getting 6,000.
