    As someone in a swing state, I’d be ok with that. Make the US like the EU.

    For one thing, every 4 years residents of swing states get relentlessly harassed and it fucking sucks. But also It’s so so much easier to make changes on a smaller local level without the influence of distant populations. Sure it would suck in some ways and for some states, but maybe if each state only had to convince a few thousand people to do better, rather than literally millions (presidential election, very demoralizing), swing states would be more left leaning.

    And if not, well it would probably be a lot easier to move states than move countries, even if they were EU style countries.
