I'm from an even smaller political entity than Wyoming, although we don't get any Senate representation at all. It would be beyond absurd to grant us equal voting power to California and obviously not a sustainable way of constructing a political system.

You say smaller political entity, but the city of Washington D.C has 100k more people than the entire state of Wyoming...

Good point - and also whoops on forgetting that, should have remembered from my DC history class where they drill in that we have a larger population than Wyoming and Vermont yet no rep

DC?

yes

Surely you see the irony in the guy from DC wanting more direct democracy at a point in the nation's history when "drop a nuke on DC, see if things improve" would probably be a winning ballot measure in most states.

Very few of those people have much animosity towards everyday people or even federal workers (as people) living in DC, it's about the politicians.
