In 1929, the House of Reps was ‘permanently’ frozen at its 1913 size of 435 in a systemic racist response to the Great Migration.
This #435Tourniquet on Congress is just one shitty Law from 1929 and can be repealed, but a TinyHouse happens to be extremely beneficial to the wealthiest few. Repeal it!
How do you feel about representation being stuck back in 1913 despite constantly growing population?
Do you like keeping our HouseOfReps tiny enough for billionaires to buy, rig & gerrymander?
Did you know re-writing The Constitution is incredibly difficult?
While the #435Tourniquet is just 1 Law?
Dear @maddow.bsky.social any comment on who the #435Tourniquet on Congress serves? Or the costs to our Liberty of keeping it in place?
The USA is a representative democracy, but representation hasn’t grown for 97 years well the population has TRIPLED in that time.
Can we talk about this??
WeThePEOPLE joyously embrace poverty to support war! After all, enjoying Freedom is what the afterlife is for.
Vladimir Putin and unregulated capitalism appreciate your support!
(Tell me again who benefits from the #435Tourniquet on Representation?)
How about a House of Representatives sized to our population in 2026, instead of a TinyHouse from the year 1913?
Senator Sanders, how in the hell do you expect fair taxation when the nations billionaires vastly outnumber the elected members of Congress?
Repeal the #435Tourniquet & #UnCapTheHouse!!
Both times when the electoral college malfunctioned, 2000 and 2016, the benefactor of that malfunction was subsequently reelected for a second term, albeit after a gap with 47.
It would be Good if the electoral college affirmed the popular vote every single time!
Remove the #435Tourniquet !!!
Roberts is the 1st loser-appointed Justice on SCOTUS. George W. Bush lost the popular vote in 2000 but “won” an eCollege damaged by 96 years of Congressional #435Tourniquet.
In a representative democracy, representation should grow with the People. Democracy dies without maintenance. #UnCapTheHouse
May we discuss legitimacy of a SCOTUS having a 5-to-4 majority of Justices appointed by 2 Presidents who both gained office by LOSING the Popular Vote??
“PermanentApportionment” (aka the #435Tourniquet on Congress) makes the eCollege pick WRONG with razor close votes.
#RobertsCourt #UnCapTheHouse
Incredibly damaging when Presidents who LOSE the Popular Vote go on to stack our highest court!
The #JohnRobertsCourt has a 5 to 4 majority of LOSER-appointed Justices.
Un-Cap the House of Representatives to REPAIR the Electoral College!!
The #435Tourniquet on Congress is KILLING our Democracy.
Our Tiny House of Reps—where every tax law and loophole begins—has not grown since 1913, despite constant population growth. The House of Reps is now totally bought rigged & gerrymandered by the ultra-rich, _for_ the ultra-rich.
Representation matters! Terminate the #435Tourniquet & #UnCapTheHouse!
The ElectoralCollege is damaged by 95 years of PermanentApportionment aka the #435Tourniquet on Congress.
Over half the Supreme was appointed by 2 Presidents who both gained office by losing the popular vote.
With the House of Reps frozen in 1913 by one shitty Law, WeThePeople are sliding backwards.
Permanent apportionment is oligarch accelerant.
Want a nation with Liberty & Justice for EVERYONE?
Repair US Democracy by removing the #435Tourniquet from Congress.
Representation should increase with the population! When it doesn’t, we are sliding backward.
#UnCapTheHouse!!!
