The bigger problem is that the number of seats in the House has been frozen for about a hundred years. Our population exploded, but our number of representatives stayed static, so places with the most people actually get less representation in congress.

On top of this, the number of electors a state has its equal to the number of representatives that state has in the Senate and the House combined. So more populated states also get underrepresented in the presidential election.

The Three-Fifths Compromise was absolutely fucked, but it's not what is deadlocking the House now and its not what is letting a people lose the popular vote and still go on to be president in 21st century elections.

The real problem is that the size of the House of Representatives has been frozen for 100 years. The number of electoral college votes a state has is equal to the number of reps and senators they have. Since the House hasn't grown alongside our population, the relative representation for rural areas has steadily grown more and more.

Ending the cap on the House would balance out the electoral college issues and help reduce the constant congressional deadlocks we're seeing.

The difference being the PS4 wasn't backwards compatible. The remaster was intended for people who hadn't and couldn't play the PS3 version.

PS5 is backwards compatible, making this a little more bullshit.

Walmart credit card. They don't need to estimate when you willingly provide it.

Dollar Tree, too. A friend of mine worked there for two weeks, quit when her first paycheck came as a debit card.

My fiancé was on the phone with her mother yesterday, explaining Project 2025 to her, and her mother literally said, "Oh, Trump wouldn't go along with all that. He used to be a Democrat, so he's petty liberal for a Republican."

"Not admissible because it was illegally captured" didn't give me the warm-and-fuzzies this comment sounds like it should've.

When I was in high school, the girls' running team made shirts that said, "Fast girls have good times." It's been more than twenty years, and I still think about how funny that double-entendre is.

So, yeah, you would've sold a lot more weiners.

That's why the move is to edit all of your comments into jumbled nonsense and then delete them.
