Ah yes, The fact the workers got what they wanted isn't good enough is it?

Fucking hate phony people like this. Pretending you care about workers but don't actually.

I'm pretty sure I'm not. I followed the thread. Maybe you are

Yes... OP read one headline and then forgot about it lol

But not Amtrak Joe 💪

Do you think youve in anyway shown we don't live in a democracy?

Lmao

People in LA don't want a free system. Unfortunately we have a lot of problems that free covid fares exacerbated.

Maybe you need to look up how the rail strike ended... its clear you're exceptionally misinformed.

Joe has been a phenomenal President so far

Especially since 2 are out since they skipped their trials

Love to see it

Yeah sure they can get 20 extra electoral college votes combined, but California would have 20-30 more itself. California just handed these over to republicans by refusing to build housing for 60 years.

New York has done the same.

We've just handed tons of political power over Republicans, who already have a natural advantage.

Each district is roughly 700k people. A few districts are bigger, a few are smaller.

California could completely dominate the US House of Representatives and the electoral college.

A state becomes more powerful by having more people.

California has much much more power than Wyoming, even tho each voter in Wyoming might have a tiny bit more power than each voter in Cali.

Do you think that means we are not in a democracy?

If California had 70million citizens, current district sizes are around 700k. So it would have about 100 districts. It would have about 1/5th of the total electoral college vote.

It's honestly insane that New York and Cali have purposefully handed over political power to republicans since the 60s.

Fine ill edit my comment to a sizable majority? 60% majority?

60 to 40? you think so? lol

"very good and affordable for the vast majority of Americans"

It's good for the 6 in 10.

To be fair, California hasn't built any new housing in 60 years.

California could have 60-70 million people. Instead we are just handing 30 million voters over to Republican states.

The problem was the South did not want to limit their potential to grow slavery to new states, and decided to go to war over it.

This shows exactly why Trump is wrong.

The reason they didn't want new states to all be free states is that then Congress would have the votes to make slavery illegal.

In a democracy which of those groups would win an election?

Guaranteeing free movement is one of the reasons we have a large military.
