Our federal system currently overrepresents old white people in both Congress and presidential elections. To correct that, without the herculean task of amending the Constitution, we could create up to six new states from US territories and D. C., and expand the size of the House. These reforms would give poc not only more representation in Congress, but also in the Electoral College. The 23rd Amendment isn’t an obstacle to D. C. statehood, because you can carve a new state out of the inhabited portions of the District, and just leave the Capitol, the WH and some federal office buildings in D. C. Making the federal government look more like America is how we defeat fascism, if only the Democrats had the will to do what it takes.
