  1. The political system in the USA has serious problems. The majority of people live on the coast yet the electoral college system places an emphasis on the mid-west with its small and overwhelmingly white population. Representation in the senate is also problematic. States with tiny populations like Delaware or North Dakota get two senators. This gives these tiny populations tremendous power and disproportionate influence in government. It is also what allows the Republican party to dominate government the way they do. They can keep their reactionary agenda on the front burner with the support of relatively few people. Until we address these problems a "progressive" agenda will never be able to take root
