Thanks. This was exactly my point but I was writing it at a bus station. A state like Oregon gets a Senator for a hundred or two hundred thousand people. California gets one per 24 million. It makes the UK look like democratic utopia.

I daresay that if I googled how many Americans support a woman's right to choose and tallied that against the composition of both houses of Congress, I'd be unpleasantly surprised.

Can also look at it like this, people in Wyoming get 1 senator per 290,000 persons.

California gets 1 per 19,000,000.

Either Joe goes or it's hail President Tump.

That's the reality and all the coping in the world will not change that.

Fair enough, I missed the point ancap was making and jumped to the wrong conclusion based on the line I quoted. My bad.

So the point I was making was irrelevant as a response to ancap's post I quoted, but it is not irrelevant to the discussion of the US election and Biden's bid to get reelected:

Political elites think they know better than the electorate and are then surprised if the electorate has the cheek to disagree with them at the ballot box.

The electorate, including registered Democrats, have shown in extensive polling for past few years that they don't think Biden should run again, their principal concern being he is too old for another four year term in such a demanding job.

The Democratic party have totally ignored what the electorate think and pressed on with Biden regardless, presumably because they believe they know better.

That strategy is currently looking to be a risky one.

But nobody should be surprised by that.

this isn’t true really either.

See you may have forgot but they ran a primary against Biden (GOP canceled their own 2020 primary, all hail king Trump see) and lo and behold despite these fabled polls, the voters let Joe run away with the vote by a very high margin too. Can you even remember the names of his opponents? Who really backed them? Nobody else stepped up to the plate and it was an open field.

Perfectly normal.
