@onefussyone @rhiles2760 29 states have the combined population of California and we only have 2 Senator's. Does that seem fair?

@PaulusAr @GOP The House is as well due to gerrymandering. The whole damned thing is fixed by GOP.

@onefussyone @Meowwch Go back in history! Read about how the Dakotas were split and why! Of course - to give extra senator vote to the GOP!

@onefussyone It would be great if we got rid of the electoral college, and changed the Senate to two indigenous people from each state instead.

@onefussyone @ursaluna In my mind the genius of the constitution is not in itself, but, the fact it can be changed when mistakes, misunderstandings are found of the checks and balances in pursuits of power. The problems arises for liberty when corruption is unchecked.

@onefussyone @FfacevonFstick So ridiculous & unfair! We need to find a second kind of Senate that has representation by population, and make them agree with each other on laws in order to get them passed. Maybe the House can propose a bill so one of my 50+ House Reps from CA can override the single SD Rep!

@onefussyone @ricod999 I know and what do they contribute to this country but fossil fuels and Republicans. They take more federal money than blue states because we support them. Theyโ€™re state welfare states, always on the dole.

@onefussyone @RedStateBlues_ Yes. So all states have equal say in the senate. Congressional seats reflect population. So - yay. You got it right. Whatโ€™s your point?

@onefussyone @SuperDuperSJW This is one of the big things wrong with the Senate. I know it was designed to give small states a voice & stop big states from ruling the roost but now it's completely anti-democracy. I don't know how to fix it that's fair to everyone.
