Motown Bombers

Republicans: We don't want California and New York controlling us. Also Republicans: Kevin McCarthy and Elise Stefanik are our leaders.

If DC was a hotbed of conservative voters, it would have been a state by now because the minority has outsized control.

It doesn't force equal representation. What is equal about a state with 12% of the US population having the same representation as 0.1%? If the Democrats had 56 senators, they wouldn't need every vote to pass legislation and would pass what the majority of Americans want. I find it funny you skipped over Texas. Texas has more people than New York and is the 2nd largest state but you made sure to only mention the large liberal states. I think you're telling on yourself. Again, Californians and New Yorkers are every bit American as West Virginians so why do they count less?

We haven't even gotten to the fact that DC has more people than Wyoming, Vermont and Alaska and has no senate representation.

Going further, while Democrats have the slimmest of majorities in the senate, it all hinges on one senator from the 12th least populist state.

Democratic senators represent 56.5% of the population and only have 50% of the senate. Democrats have represented the majority of population since 1996 but have only controlled the senate 12 of those 26 years. There is also a filibuster in place that once again favors the minority. In one 4 year term by Trump, 3 supreme court justices were appointed by a president who lost the popular vote and a senate that represents a minority of the population.

Wyoming has 576,000 people. California has 39.5 million people. California has 12% of the US population. Wyoming has 0.1% of the US population. Why does Wyoming deserve such a unequal representation? California should have 12% of the representation in senate. Hell, even a compromise of 10% for California and 1% for Wyoming. That would still be over representing Wyoming. No one can provide any good reason why Wyoming should have the same 2% representation in the senate as California.

Keep in mind these population totals are including slaves who had no rights. The south had far fewer free people than the north so giving them the same number of senators benefited the slave states. It shouldn't be any surprise that 200 years later the states that benefit from this senate are rural white states.

You do realize the number of Supreme Court justices has been changed multiple times in the past? There is literally no rule in the constitution that you have to have 9 justices.

In the 1790 census, Virginia was the largest state in the country. It was 12 times larger than the smallest state which was Delaware. California is 68 times larger than Wyoming.

California has the same population as roughly the 21 least populated states. Those states combine for 42 senators. California has 2.

Democrats represent 56.5% of the population in the senate. They have 50 senators. Republicans represent 43.5% of the population. They have 50 senators. Since 1996, Democrats have represented the majority of the population in the senate. Republicans have controlled the senate in 14 of those 26 years.

I'm suggesting eliminating the senate as we know it today. Why are people in Wyoming more important than California?

I imagine that caravan is heading to the Texas border right about now.

When the constitution was written, was the largest state 68 times larger than the smallest state? What good reason is there that 578,000 people in Wyoming have the same 2% representation in the senate as 40 million in California?

They was and he was killed.

Don't worry, they're still complaining about Manchin.

Democrats aren't going to win both chambers. Fetterman chased down a black kid so he's canceled and Biden hasn't passed their entire agenda in 2 years so why bother?

At least Texas eliminated rapes.
