There are apparently colleges out there teaching "economics" but with little J. M. Keynes or Adam Smith--probably taught as "business" or "finance"--and telling young people that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.
Which is doing a disservice to those young people.

Despite the occupation of Israel, Palestinians made Gaza beautiful. They made Universities and are considered amongst the most educated populations on earth.

Chasing public opinion actually pushes it.
So Danish SD were pushing some people toward xenophobic parties, and other people into distrusting them as xenophobes. They lost votes in both camps over time.

It should be said that Copenhagen was lost to a coalition to the LEFT of the Social Democrats. It's more Zohran Mamdani than Nigel Farage.
Nativism has been hegemonic in DK for 20 years, not 10, which is why "the Danish model" was attempted in the first place.
Like many of us predicted, it failed.

The issue isn't who gets representation, it's that once you start unwinding federalism, why stop at presidential elections? Why bother having "states" at all other than as national administrative boundaries?
And why keep the Senate at all? Why not just a giant House, proportionally elected?

Sorry, but this is nonsensical. Federalism isn't a binary. Elect the President by national popular vote and both the little and the big empty states STILL get overrepresented in the Senate, which, need I remind you, confirms judicial and other nominations.
