There isn’t a perfect way to draw districts. I like sortest splitline for its simplicity and impartial strategy.
The best solution I can see is to evolve the House of Representatives into a body of proportional representation. This could be done in state level houses as well. Single winner, or other small number of winners elections should have ranked choice to make it harder for parties to maintain dominance.
Yeah, plants deserve to be consumed in great quantity. They are selfish in this world. They hoard 90% of the energy in our biosphere for themselves. They even use chemical weapons to keep us from this energy we work hard to gather for enough to survive. Other non-autotrophic species know our plight and many share in this quest. Except for those sympathizer cats and raptors who will eat our babies to protect their photosynthesizing overlords. We must all reap for our lives. Vivat biodome!
