    It’s not even half. Every time people are surveyed for whether or not they support conservative policies, political stances, etc the highest it tends to get is ~30% of the population are in support. The more extreme the position the smaller the support.

      Yes, but that is if you ask them about the issues. Try asking them about their team… I mean political party

        Seems like we need to ban political parties, put bags on the heads of every politician to disguise them, and rotate in a random citizen chosen from each district for every single vote. Better luck by random choice than a 50/50 coin toss at best and Gerrymandered hell scape at worst.

          Or we could have ranked choice voting so “3rd party candidates” can have a chance and not be seen as “wasted votes that let the wrong lizard win”.
