Pack the Union: Admit New States to Amend Constitution for Equal Representation

[Virginiá]

Pretty dramatic and ridiculous and might fix what the constitution says, but people still have to believe in it and be willing to uphold the system and follow the law for it to work. That begins to fail when you take for granted that government doesn't just "work." It requires the faith of the governed. I would expect partisan violence from such tactics, and widespread disapproval across the board. I'm also not sure I trust such a scheme to not become corrupted by wealthy/corporate influence, either. I mean, let's be honest here. The party has a lot of work to do to free itself from the poisoned grip of America's business lobby. Also, is it even possible to force all these new 'microstates' to dissolve back into a single state that represents DC? Or would we just be hoping for it to happen, as planned?

Either way, this is way too much. Like OSR said, it's fantasy. And dangerous. There are easier ways to at least get us back on the right path than this.

The fact that we're even talking about this is also quite an indictment of how ineffective and unrepresentative of the people government has gotten.
