We live in a sad time when a stunningly ignorant imbecile who believes he can can see children with “mitochondrial challenges” is in charge of public health, and this news post about vaccines can just as accurately be posted in a political sub.

Because of Trump and his worshiping morons 180,000 American’s needlessly died during the worst of COVID, but that’s not enough. Trump and his ilk want more people to die from diseases that were previously nearly gone.

Polio, Whooping Cough, Measles, and even Small Pox are now welcome in Trump’s America.

    West coast gets 6 senators.

    The 4 least populous states on the east coast are Maine, Rhode Island, Delaware, and New Hampshire. They get 8 senators with a fraction of the population.

    These states have about 5 million people. California alone has nearly 40 million people

      That’s because California is so fucking massive. We could break it into 4+ states and it would probably benefit the Dems in Congress

        It would not creat more seats though, maybe a couple. The East is over represented and the west is under represented. Period. We keep getting shafted by terrible policy that doesn’t have a place in our environments. If we weren’t doing things ourselves, shit wouldn’t get done.

          What we need is to repeal the Reapportionment Act of 1929 that limits the House of Representatives at 435 members.

          That’s what’s really fucking states like California.

          Each new state would get 2 senators added to the senate. You are right about the house of Representatives though
