10. Sure it does your in the majority
A threshold of 20 million Americans is pretty high, and to deny a group of that size access to government is not democratic. My idea does not threaten the two party system it simply gives voice to millions af people who have no voice. Two or three greens in the House of Representatives does not shake things up that much, but it allows us to sleep nights knowing our views are represented. The two green senators in Australia have not threatened labor or the liberals but they have given voice. The only way millions of Americans would be able to get a voice in the current system would be to all move to one district. It is rediculous.
