Only if you get 60 willing senators. I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Is it even possible?

No. California is like 65 Wyomings. It's rigged on purpose.

Closer to 80 wyomings.

Our 52 representative 2 senators

Vs their 1 representative and two senators.

So the average wyomian has around 4 times our general representation.

But in specifically the Senate, the more Influential body, they enjoy 80 times our representation.

What I'm asking is, are there even enough seats up for election that it could happen in a fever dream.

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If enough Dems get elected for a super majority in both branches, it's possible. But in the Senate, it would need to be 61 seats, because that scumbag Fetterman isn't an actual Democrat.

Yeah, what I'm asking is, how many gop seats are up for election

Edit: wiki says 22 gop seats and 13 dem seats. So barely possible. Don't think it's feasible.
