  1. 3:25 He moved out of Portland because he found it "too liberal". But he couldn't be bothered to move a bit further east and actually live in Idaho? It's not as if Idaho was lacking in land he couldn't bought.

  2.  @Joe-i1x2g  Then they can move to Idaho. They don't get to rewrite the state maps just because they want to.

  3.  @dansmith1661  Somehow I doubt when you say "native rule", you mean the actual natives of America would be in charge.

  4. Translation: the rural conservatives hate democracy, because they're outnumbered.

  5. First past the post is completely terrible, but proportional representation would also be bad. Because it would destroy local representation. Everybody would be voting solely for which party they want to be in power, and not voting for a specific MP for the constituency in which they live. You wouldn't have your own MP who you can vote out in the next election if he displeases you. And thus the only accountability to individual MPs would come from party leadership, not from the voters. Likewise, there could no longer be independent MPs. Ranked choice voting would allow local representation to still exist, while also not producing the disproportionate mess that is first past the post.

  6.  @joelanderson5285  Because they can't just vote to change their situation. Counties don't get a say in which state they're a part of, because counties are purely a creation of the state. They might be a majority of the population in the county, but they're a tiny minority of the population in the state.
