What if the US map was redrawn as "a nation of city-states"?
And so then if you redefine the boundaries to be city states, how is that going to affect people who lean Republican? Are we going to see then more blue across the nation or would there be a shifting of more collaboration instead of there being these divisions between anyone who happens to be Democratic and living a state versus anyone who happens to or not to live in a city and is Republican like? I'm working with a lot of assumptions here and I know next to nothing about these things

That's very interesting. I would just have to go look at that book and the resource and where that came from. And that's a good point on the political landscape saying that, I would think, who wrote that book? Or where did these ideas come from? From? Was it Republican or Democrat? Yeah. I don't know. I'd like to look more into that and how our cities, how things originated
In fact, it's going to help solve a lot of issues between pollution, parking, congestion, transportation fatalities, traffic like they're so dumping that amount of money, taking that amount of money and investing it into those types of infrastructure wouldn't make sense to the rest of the state. But the rest of the state's population may be less than that population center

Which leads me to my next thought was that if we did go this route because of the points are already made, I think it would essentially silence those who are right leaning in their politics and that transitional period would not only be painful but it would be found unacceptable. Right, but I mean, hey, if we're imagining a brand new country instead of transitioning let's come up with a brand new system for government let alone how to elect officials, let alone parties. Forget the parties
And I think the representatives would be better handled, better informed, because they're not trying to know everything about all the different types. As for voting and things like and things like that, I mean if with the technology we have in that it's ridiculous that not every person, like we can count the popular vote, most votes win. This is as simple as it gets. I mean, it really does. I mean that's essentially what an election is anyway
