It’s a shame actually, because rural counties do have an important voice that will now get ignored in CA.
I’d like to point out that this is not inherent. A representative could and should still focus on hearing what they want, even if they’re not a large voting bloc.
Reality is of course a different place, but some reps do go out of their way to ensure they hear from every area they represent, like they’re supposed to. The fact so many do not at all is a critique on the type of people that generally run for office.
Kind of a misleading headline; the county didn’t get to choose anyone. Marin county chose and they were a rounding error.

Of course, that voice voted for current republica when they could have voted independent, so they voted for this.

We can safely ignore a few thousand cattle ranchers
Republicans in particular have been cutting back as they didn’t want to get yelled at by their constituents for harming them.
This is all countering Texas’s bullshit. Every single republican voted for exactly this if they voted for Trump.
They wanted this, they just didn’t realize their voices were the ones that would be drowned out.
What a bunch of fucking dumbasses.
