Pick a state then

Michigan.

Denial? Thats a state right?

lol

Ok, isnt on of michigan's goals to continue to grow their population by attracting people from other states and responding to the needs of their own residents?

I had to read up a bit. Imagine if each state have the current number of rep as today, but each state was one electoral super district. Example given; everyone in Alabama could vote for everyone there and the 7 candidates with the most votes go to Congress.

@4AM_critter 🐉 who wins what seats?

Sure, but does that mean that what the reps from detriot want are in the best interests of the state?

They want what are best for their area

Yes, their area, not the state.

Right, which is why you have senators

Who want whats best for their state as a whole

The elctoral district have 7 seats, you are not locked to any particular geographical subset

@Grenade123

Who should be appointed by the state legislature not popular election.

Nope

Yes.

@4AM_critter 🐉 yes, but winner takes all?

Because the people of the state need to have a say in who goes to congress

They do, that's the representive.

@Dennafen isn't stuff like this partly how the EU go into such a mess?

NO. Grenade, imagine 20 persons running for office. The 7 candidates with the most votes get the seats.

@4AM_critter 🐉 so everyone votes on all 7 seats, rather than 1.

@Grenade123 Yes, because they don't have representatives.

I dont want my represetnatives who cant even agree on a budget for my state to decide who gets to represent us in washington

No, you have one vote, and you can only vote for one person.

Because as you said, those locally elected representatives dont care whats best for other areas they only care about their own

@4AM_critter 🐉 okay, all 20 get some percent of the vote. what now? take the top 7?

Yes, but they have to pick one person for six years.

Yes the top seven get he seats.

what happens if less than 7 get votes.

Which is why I dont want them to pick a person, because they dont care about the state as a whole, what they care about is their own re-election

its only like 4 people @4AM_critter 🐉

Then that senator is no longer beholden to the people, he becomes beholden to the state representatives which elected him

They don't elect him.

Appointed whaterver

So we should vote on supreme court judges?

Thats what the Senate is for

....

They're supposed to think about how people in the state will be affected by that judge

No.
