It is one of the problems that I see is that our current state is that we have professional politicians, people who have been basically politicians all their entire careers.

Cynthetiq, you need to think about how differently things would be with districts of 50,000. The Representatives would no longer be assured of 90%++ reelection rates. High reelection rates are due to the fact that it costs
tens of millions of dollars for a challenger to
try to unseat an incumbent in a super-sized district.

OK. so you are
opposed to smaller congressional districts. And it is fine with you that they grow to 1,300,000 people by 2100. Maybe most people will agree with you.
