Should the number of senators be based on population ?

[skylove4]

I’ve always like a lot of folks thought it’s crazy how a sparely populated state like Wyoming has the same amount of senators as NY or TX. I was reading a article today and a senator from South fukking Dakota was talking about the stimulus check he has so much power by being a senator with like 10 folks in his state

what do y’all think and sorry if this has been discussed before

 

[wire28]

Yes. Next question.

 

[skylove4]

Yes. Next question.

 

[88m3]

Yup

 

[skylove4]

Do you guys think this would happen in the foreseeable future?

 

[acri1]

Absolutely. How is it fair for California to get the same amount of Senate representation as Montana?

Having two senators per state basically just means that people in small states have more voting power. It's inherently anti-democratic and unfair.

Do you guys think this would happen in the foreseeable future?

Not a chance in hell. You would need some kind of impossible Democratic supermajority.

Do you guys think this would happen in the foreseeable future?

Nah the country is trending towards minority control. Republicans controlling the government while representing the minority of the population through gerrymandering and voter suppression

The senate should be abolished.

The senate should be abolished.

Yeah, the House should be the entire Congress.

Do you guys think this would happen in the foreseeable future?

No. Keep em coming.

 

[DEAD7]

No.

 

[skylove4]

No.

Why not

 

[Baka's Weird Case]

yes but it will never happen so its not worth debating that much.

maybe those weirdos who wanted to split california into three states were onto something. if norcal and socal became seperate states...

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

Yes. Next question.

No. Keep em coming.

The senate should be abolished.

Yeah, the House should be the entire Congress.

would not be mad at this

 

[DEAD7]

Why not

It makes states irrelevant. We become on big nation rather than a union of states.
Which i believe it what liberals really want.
Centralized power is their M.O.
