Apportion This

By now you've all seen and heard the leftist complaints about the House 'popular vote' and the senate 'popular vote'.

[Narrator: This is not a thing]. 

This is so unbelievably fucking stupid it's unbelievable. We here at William Stroock dot BlogSpot dot com understand we don't need to take our valued readers through this argument.

[Narrator: No, you don't].

But we would like to point out that this unbelievably fucking stupid argument reveals something about the people making it.

Look folks, we all know that our congress-critters represent our geographic district and our senators represent our states. Now to be honest, from a geographical and cultural point of view the 50 states aren't really what they were in 1789. 

[Narrator: there were only 13 states.]

Back then each had it's own feel, interests and differences.

We've lived in the Northeast Corridor our entire life, north of NYC, south of DC and now west of NYC. We can assure folks in Texas, California, Tennessee, Italy that there ain't much difference between Arlington, VA and Bridgewater, NJ. Honestly if one were to redraw the map the Northeast Corridor should be its own state.

But to the leftist making these fucking stupid popular vote arguments, geography and region don't matter at all. It's the ideology that counts. These people want party apportionment, so that if the Dems win the popular vote then they win the house and senate.

[Narrator: Again, not a thing]

Prime Minister Justin* wanted to do that until the grownups in Ottawa talked him out of it.

*No, we didn't forget to add 'Trudeau'. He's a goddamn child.
