    States are the original gerrymandering.

    Imagine if we redrew the state maps every few years. Oh no, my speed limit went down, I have to pay five cents per bag at the store, and the gax tax is not ten cents more per gallon. 😱😱😱

    But then November roles around and my vote is way more powerful than it was because now 2 million people are election a senator and in my old state 50 million are also electing a senator.

    States obviously used to have cultural sway but pretending they are real in 2024 is absolutely hilarious.

    Gerrymandering is just the cherry on top. Well, the cherry in the House.
