  • I like that and it would probably work better than suing over a gerrymandered map only for the courts to uphold the crazy district, exactly what happened with the Texas 2nd Congressional District map.

    Honestly with our current level of technology, a more direct democracy approach like a popular vote representation based on stance alignment would probably work better. For example, Average Joe would optionally select a party and then vote on policies, and the representatives would have selected their policies to align with constituents. Policies and candidates on ballot would be chosen through a regular primary, so each party might have separate policies on the ballot. Independents could select a mix of each and get automatically assigned a politician.

    I bet the GOP wouldn’t even oppose it because they love forcing people to commit to a party.

    I feel like Cities Skylines wasted potential with their Sims-like sales model of a poorly cooked base game and tens of DLC. Plus, the game is tutorial railroaded so bad like omg just let me try.

    I did see a youtuber build a biking and walkable community connected by Subway, though, which was cool.
