I wrote about how our country was founded upon the principles of equality, and how inequality will only grow over time due to lack of enforcement of voting rights, partisan gerrymandering, and the electoral college. Did you know that it is predicted that by 2040, 70% of Americans will live in the fifteen largest states and have only 30 senators, while the remaining 30% of Americans will have 70 senators? I argued that they should make an amendment to the constitution despite the unlikliness of that happening, and making it a popular vote kind of election. A benefit of the popular vote is also that there would be more political parties and different opinions heard. George Washington thought that political parties were bad because they would look to benefit themselves and not the country... and look where that’s gotten us.
