Caleb James DeLisle (npub1mh5…233h) woodland creature :pleroma_fox_tan: (npub106d…3m89) don't mean to shift the goalposts on you here but consider the futility in trying to appeal to the morality of the average Californian
the point of trying to further provide franchise to the average citizen of any given county, state, etc. has a multiplicative effect of a rather predictable, yet unfortunate disenfranchisement. so long as lobbying exists, so too will the tendrils of government seek a codependent relationship for its consolidation of further power against the will of the public. that 1:100 ratio of representation makes it easier to lobby, bribe, and so forth. regrettable, but predictable. NH may very well be a microcosm of an upstanding people (as a cynic and looking at how Haley is running the board there, I certainly doubt this) yet if we apply that to the rest of the union, you see how dark this becomes
there is a check and a balance in place, expanding state houses, senates etc. without enforcement of the legal systems which currently exist, it would just earn more ire from the people engaging in an even more crafty illusion of choice. their taxes go up, they aren't represented appropriately and the wheel turns
someone's got to prosecute the bad guys is all, otherwise there is no distinction between bad guy and good guy
