lobbyism -- rep's for virtual states and cities

pol/representation/lobbyism -- rep's for virtual states:
2017.12.14:
. representatives should be more of a lobbyist,
representing my group's particular interests
rather than the interests of
the group I'm geographically with;
the key to proper representation
is moving to a virtual city
where everyone thinks like you
and your wishes are not nullified
by an opposing majority.
. so, how to find your lobbyist?
learn the issues;
locate your position in multi-dimensional issue space,
place your issues into essential vs nice-to-have categories;
computer shows space of group you're in
and shows larger groups you are close to but not exact match;
the larger your group the more votes your rep has;
eg, for every 1000 people in your virtual city,
your virtual city's rep gets 1 vote.

is not the result of any interference
but of usa's own political system:
the internal struggle, the disorder, the division ...
[it's caused by democracy that tries to
unify nationalists with globalists,
and liberals with religious conservatives.]
