“You can also reach out to your local County Democratic Party, Indivisible Chapter, or other activist group and request they add uncapping the U.S. House of Representatives as an officially endorsed policy”

I’m unfamiliar with this idea. I read the entire post. When I got to the above quote I am unsure why the suggestion is to reach out to only a Democrat Party rep. Is this idea not also beneficial/desirable for the Republican Party?

Republican states are mostly lower population than blue states, so they have disproportionate representation in the electoral college. This would give Democrats more power in presidential elections than they currently have, if I understand it correctly.

Not really. Republicans fight explicitly to disenfranchise people for their own benefit. “More representation” isn’t even something they pretend to want.
