Harvard has released a radical proposal to fix America's broken democracy.Researchers suggest Congress needs to pass legislation reducing the size of Washington, D.C. to just a few core federal buildings and declaring its 127 neighborhoods as states.These new states would add enough votes for Congress to rewrite the Constitution in a way that 'every vote counts equally' by ratifying four amendments.The plan entails equal representation in both the Senate and the House, replacing the Electoral College with a popular vote and modifying 'the Constitution's amendment process that would ensure future amendments are ratified by states representing most Americans.' The authors of the proposal suggest dividing D.C.

If wishes were horses beggars would ride them. A lasting favor PDT has done the country is to smoke these vermin out in the open.

In other words, Harvard wants the Washington elite to control everything and everybody.

Texas has 254 counties. Each one could be a state bigger than DC now.

Sounds like it provides everything that a "true" democracy would use to bring down a country; exactly the opposite of what the Founders put into place.

So broken as in 'those darn voters won't stop thinking for themselves'. That kind of broken? How on earth they can make the DC area into 127 actual states is beyond me. I think the actual 50 states just might have a huge problem with this kind of attack on our nation. We already see how NY and Cali are running the show during the impeachment farce. Do we really want them running the real show that affects all our lives? I sure don't.

First premise of this is incorrect.

That settles if for me. Anyone with a Harvard degree will henceforth be on my enemy list.
There are a hand full of conservatives from Harvard, but many of them lack moral character.
Unless they take to the microphones condemning this seditious plot coming out of their university, I consider them part of the conspiracy.

So each of these tiny states, with maybe 20,000 residents, would have one representative, the same as Wyoming, with more than 600,000 residents. How does that result in equal representation?

Not "radical", ridiculous. Another reason to never ever give the organized crime syndicate know as the Democrat party control of both houses of congress again. The Democrats specialize in ridiculous.

Wow, more lie-berals who have sunk into total and complete insanity by allowing their president, Donald Trump, to live rent-free in their heads 24/7/365 for the last 3 year!!!!!
Maybe we can turn the entire state of California into a giant insane asylum for all the lie-berals who can no longer function due to Trump Derangement Syndrome!!!!!! I'm not sure it would be big enough to hold all of them, but we need to help them before they hurt themselves and others!!!!!

I think #3 is right, and the piece reads like a troll. Or maybe it is pilot plot for a new Monty Python series on American politics.

Okay by me. If they do that, they need to do that all over the country and create thousands and thousands of new states.

(Love those Daily Mail "headparagraphs")
Every time I read stuff like this, it further confirms that liberals have gone insane. Bad genes? Drugs? Who knows. Who cares. What's becoming clear is that no amount of reasoning with them and no elections are going to fix this.
When does the shooting start? Looks like it's the only way this country can get back to any semblance of sanity. Their choice entirely.

The Founding Fathers or Pinheaded Communist Professors at Harvard? Yea...K! Hard choice for anyone with a brain! Sorry boys, it takes 2/3 of the country to vote to amend the Constitution...and you don't understand us Yokel Rubes here in flyover country. But hey...enjoy your little faux intellectual debates inside the Red Star Harvard! On Comrades!

Back in the late 1960s, Alan Campbell, Jimmy Carter's Director of the Office of Personnel Management, and his sidekick, Dirty Donna Shalala, proposed that NYC government be decentralized, so that every city block would have its own local government.
NY State held a constitutional convention in 1967, and Campbell, who would go on to be dean of the Maxwell School of Citizenship at Syrace University, with Dirty Donna as his assistant, chaired the Local Government part of the con-con.
NYS citizens were wise enough to vote down the abominable proposed constitution. I thought of that when I read about Harvard dimwits and their proposal about D.C.

This destructive radical leftist proposal is the sort of thing which has given Harvard a well deserved bad name. Surely the Ivy League can reason and so value this country more than that.
