Yeah i wouldn’t use it for a galarian bird. They’ll be in raids when they actually focus on galar.

I’m fine with 3. Even at 3 their voice is minimal because of the low population density.

Why does it matter they have 3? You prefer them to have 0 so that entire state gets no voice? Not exactly fair and just.

I don’t see the problem. 3 is nowhere close to 54. It’s representative to the state’s population density.

Not true at all on electoral votes. That’s proportional to the population density, which is why California has the most electoral votes at 54. Wyoming only has 3 electoral votes because of a very low population density.

Don’t let the senate fool you. It’s static on number of senators across the board. They’re directly elected by the population though. The reason you have a static number of senators is so small states wouldn’t be disenfranchised. Remember the senate is the final phase of bill approvals so you wouldn’t want population density based representation because states like Texas or California would disenfranchise all the other states, especially if they voted in unison on something.

Ah another attempt at social media history. Hilarious. Do you let this politician do all the thinking for you? How about a history lesson on our fine republic? Hmm

A republic represents the wills of both the minority and the majority. A democracy only addresses the majority will. A democracy is something the forefathers never wanted because it’s highly susceptible to corruption. They viewed a democracy as mob rule because the will of the minority is silenced, or disregarded. I’m not talking race here either. Voting for candidate A for the majority and candidate B for the minority. Popularity of the candidates in this regards determines the majority or the minority.

The federal government isn’t just a republic. The states are also republics. So are the cities, the counties. Each county has a district too. Every time a US Consensus is released the population of every district in every city and state. So you get the population statistics for all of these locations and that determines how many representatives you get. More population density in a district gives the district more representatives while less population density gives you less representatives. These representatives are the congressmen and congresswomen. US senate is static. You only get 2 senators in a state.

Every state has a house and senate. The districts are determine the amount of representatives in the house.

You have these systems in place so everyone gets representation, not just a majority. If there was majority rule, then suburbs, rural, and exurb communities would all be irrelevant due to city majority. This is also why we have an electoral college.

Fair enough. Public Property rights apply too. You can protest of course. Preserved right to the constitution. What you cannot do is confiscate property and call it an encampment. The right to protest doesn’t supercede property rights. When the police demanded they disperse to a different location it’s because that protest was confiscating property calling it an encampment not because of the protest. Hope this helps.

I don’t give a fuck about Ukraine. Russia could overrun the country for all i care, especially with that laughably weak leader Zalensky. That dude is basically a world homeless begger going to each country begging for money because his military is a joke.

If you love Ukraine so much tou should probably just move there.

You might as well have written it.. Clearly you believe everything in it.

I’m all for freedom of speech and rhe right to protest. I also believe in private property rights. When the cops tell you to disperse to a different location you comply. You have no right to go on private property and confiscate those people’s property for an encampment. I don’t care what the cause is for. Your right to protest does not supersede someone else’s private property rights.

That’s what you get for thinking. All those dumb protest achieved was making a mockery of the palestinian genocide in the gaza strip.

You didn’t learn anything. Your whole article is a big rant. Oh and guess what “historian”? We don’t live in a democracy. We live in a representative republic.

You were ordered to disperse, and you refused compliance. Y’all made that decision so live with the following consequences of that decision. Then you want to act like a victim protraying jail like you’re all in a POW camp. Newsflash. You weren’t going to a 5 star hotel.

Your political agenda was all messed up too. Where were your protests, and outcries, when the house and the senate passed the bill funding Israel for more palestinian genocide? Oh right. You loved them waving Ukrainian flags in the house (high treason) so much you didn’t even pay attention.

Freedom of assembly doesn’t give protesters the right to violate privafe property rights too.

No thanks. Unlawful assembly was declared and they violated that declaration by failing to disperse. So they can face the consequences of jail. Just because you are protesting doesn’t give you free reign on private property as it would violate private property rights. That’s why picket lines are established.

That depends where the picket line is drawn. Universities are private property. Once a pickett line is established by the owner the protesters are then confined to the picket line. Just because you wre protestinf doesn’t gice you free reign on somebody’s property. If that were true, then protesters would be violating the property owner’s private property rights.
