Fact: North Dakota and South Dakota have the same power in Washington, D.C. (two United State Senators each) as the states of California and New York combined. The combined population of the two Dakota states is about 1,500,000 citizens compared to California and New York’s 57,000,000. How undemocratic! That is wrong and it should be changed. Let us begin to correct that inequity of representation here by dividing California into two new states. Only two words need to be used to describe the advantages we get from dividing our golden state. We would get to “START OVER.” Two Californias
The very first politician to have used long division in the purpose of fair voting. This is a better idea than teaching Latinos how to be racists Undemocrats. The author of the web site was an assembly person who, in 1993, managed to get a three state split thru the CA Assembly.
The broader point. Undemocratic apartheid states do not last, eventually voters figure out that they get ripped off by oligarchs. The broader issue is that California is short eight Senators, even though the US Constitution identifies the problems of an unbalanced Senate and provides repair mechanisms. But as long as anti-democratic corruption and racism remain the norm in California, poverty and decline increase.
