location? yes, location...perhaps if the Democrats appealed to a majority of voters outside the State of California they would have less problem with "where those people are located"?
I understand that Democrats do their best to bus "those people" to other locations....or did you mean that "those people" are located somewhere other than the United States?
Democrats win the majority of votes for House of Representatives more often than not and have done so while losing the total number of seats handily. This isn't specifically about California as that phenomenon occurs within specific states just as well. The same phenomenon even occurs inside of state legislatures. For example, in Wisconsin, Democrats won the majority of state Assembly votes in 2012 by around 200,000 votes, but lost almost 2/3rds of the seats. That was entirely caused by gerrymandering put in effect in 2011. If Democrats win the House vote this election cycle by 5%, a largish margin by standards since 1980, they'll almost certainly lose the Chamber. That's not because of California. It's mostly because of gerrymandering in states like Ohio and North Carolina and secondarily because of some demographic shifting.
Here's the crazy thing: It might blow your mind here, but Californians are US citizens too. If your false assertion was true, it wouldn't change the point I was making at all.
