I want to say the modern reasoning (well, beyond partisan party bullshit) is something along the lines of throwing them a bone so they're somewhat more content with being poor backwoods drunkards,* instead of being poor backwoods drunkards blowing up the local infrastructure. Also to give some more weight to folks actually on the ground for the non-urban areas, which make up a lot more of the country geographically. I couldn't say how well this has actually been working out (though I could guess that the answer is "poorly to the point of being farcical").

*Not 100% representative of the rural population. Maybe 90% representative, but anyway. Yes, as a poor rural pleb having been surrounded by drunk poor rural plebs for most of my life, my perceptions are slightly colored by the general practices of north florida's particular brand of swamp dweller.

Getting rid of the electoral college would probably help too, since that means no matter where you are, your vote matters as much as anyone elses vote.

Yeesssss... functionally disenfranchise those dirty rural plebeians. Only the cities will ever matterrrrr, ahahahahahahaaaa!

Hey. Step off, broseph. Pink is everybody's color. It's what we are on the inside. No one group gets to claim it, the second most wonderful of colors*, as their own.

*After purple, the best and most wonderful of colors.

Could probably end up with Foxtrot Papa, which sounds like the name of a swing band or something. I... I can accept that.

I was thinking more giant catbong, myself. Xant is not amused by stonercat's antics.

Gen X and Gen Y. Ranges of birth years, generally. X is around the 60s 'till early 80s, Y (also known as millennials) is mid-late 80s through 2000 or so. There's pretty marked shifts in cultural trends between them and the ones before 'em. I kinda' like to think of it as the "You assholes left us with bigger problems than who our neighbor is porking" generations.

... J, I feel like my playlist (note the singular: I have one.) would drive you up the wall. Admittedly, there's only a few thousand songs in it these days, but everything just gets shoved into one playlist and randomize hit a few times. And then shuffle turned on, usually. Sometimes an album or somethin' will get stuck together in one part of it, but... sometimes not!
