@sickburnbro @af2 I agree, the number of reps is like existence of the penny at this point: a fantasy that we still live in some idealized past.

It's very debatable anyway if there's even anything that can be done to the system to repair it. For instance, there should probably be 2,000 plus reps. There's a really good chance such a legislature would be unworkable, which, it probably is, which, explains part of our current plight (just because there are fewer of them doesn't magically make it *more* workable). As well there's the electoral college issue as the current math at least allows sane White people to still have a tiny (tiny) bit of influence in how the government is run.
