If you were appointed the drawer all the congressional districts for 2022...

The sane, normal side of me prefers option 3: a congress that's as responsive to the people as possible.

However, I must admit, there is a craven, almost McConnelist part of me that would revel at option 6.

This, but I wouldn't be too upset about option 4 either.

Option 3 is just as bad as options 1 and 6, if you need proof that Moderate Hero hacks/Centrist ideologues are both real and can have some pretty awful views, look no further than smoltchanov.

Option 3 isn't about a centrist congress, it's about an elastic one. It creates a level playing field. I couldn't care less about moderate hacks and I'm sure as heck not a moderate myself

This really is the best option. Preferably with districts that ignore state boundaries (at least on the continental US) and a roughly proportional Senate that also follows STV rules and gives DC a single Senator.
