[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 4638706, member: 66082"] You are completely misunderstanding my posts. I said nothing about it being unfair if Democrats aren't in charge. My post said as American voters do we agree that all our votes should count equally in determining who has political power. I also said as American voters can we agree that whomever the majority of American voters support they should wield the majority of the political power. For example should a political party in a state be able to shield itself from the will of the majority of voters? For example there is a US state that in 2018 had 99 state assembly seats up. And one party in that election received 52.99% of the total votes, yet those voters only elected 36 state assembly seats, the other party received 44% of the total votes and those voters elected 63 state assembly seats. To me no matter the party, no matter the state, the will of 53% of the voters should trump the will of 44% of voters in deciding who has political power in that state. Such a result is anti American voters. As far as the idea of America breaking up, it just doesn't make sense. The nation is far less divided than its really ever been in many ways. And there is no way right now a state or a collection of states can vote themselves out of the united states and that not cause an armed conflict. [/QUOTE]
