Reminder that the United States is so backwards it gives the same amount of senators to Wyoming and California. Why should the most populace state in America have to have less senators than these flyover shitholes?!

because that are the rules. dont like it? make your own country

THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT YOU FUCKING TARD!

reminder you could put 6 billion people in a small box and shove them directly up your ass
but that box still won't grow enough food to feed itself

what you have described is the single most important and deliberate part of our system, it is literally the only thing mentioned in the constitution as being unchangeable even by constitutional amendment

The united states is so backwards that californianis full of niggers and spics

It is the biggest scam in politics. Republicans control tons of tiny states too giving them a huge advantage in the Senate consisted to their population

Ok now do the House.

senators are supposed to represent the states interest dumbshit
not the peoples

if california had more senatores wouldnt usa become biased towards this state, therefore becoming a mexican shithole faster?

That's not quite true, the Senate is an elite body that is supposed to be filled with smart, mature men who understand the deeper and long term needs of the country. They come from their own state but they represent the interests of the country, arguably even more than the house of representatives is supposed to.

Arent you supposed to be states that are united, which includes representation and such

Why cant americans understand what a federation is these days? I honestly think they are being dishonest about it because it doesnt suit their political narrative.

Thats what the house of representatives is for baka why do i have to educate ameritards about their own fucking country.

they have the most representatives in the house, and we all hate them for that and many other reasons

Of course real america gets more senators per capita. Is only fair

No, he is right. Senate represents states as members of the union.
Thats how it is in every country.

why are all leftie memes either a wall of text or look like a 5-7 year old drew them?

...and you're picture is an argument for the electoral college?

Cali 2 senators have fucked up their shitty state.

There's nothing stopping California from splitting into several smaller states.
They won't do it, because that might give political representation to the conservatives who live there but have no chance of there votes mattering.

Pretty clear, OP couldn't pass 8th grade Civics.

Because proportional representation is in the House. The senate is intended to have equal representation.

I don't know where you could find actual writing on this but it's generally understood that Senators are there to help the country as a whole, from the perspective of their own state. The UK had a concept called "virtual representation" where every member of parliament was supposed to represent every British subject around the world, this ideal sort of stayed with us even it isn't written in law. Basically everything congress does is about the country as a whole, except for 'pork barreling' (finding convenient excuses to get gibs for your own district), and that's a controversial practice.

sheesh, i'm not even american, and even i know why. are all demorats this stupid?

it is true.
the states initially appointed to senators to represent their state.
17th ammendment fucking made senators win a vote in their state, but the senators still represent the states interest , while the house represents the people

The entire point of the upper house is to represent the STATE whereas the lower house represents DISTRICTS.

You probably grew in in Fagifornia where spent more time learning why it's OK to suck another man's cock than the genius of how your country was built to be ruled by laws while the rest of the world was ruled by kings.

Why do leftist not know how the system works? Why don't they understand why the system is the way that it is?

The Senate was never designed to represent the "People" its there for the states. The house was meant for the people. I actually think that the direct election of senators by the people is a horrible idea and that we should kill the 17th. The upper chamber isn't supposed to be beholden to the whims of the people.

Because California is garbage and they should have no say over the rest of us.

There's literally representing who voted for you and then representing what you believe in, Senators are supposed to believe in the good of the country. Are you guys seriously trying to say they're not even expected to care about other states?

>Why should the most populace state in America have to have less senators than these flyover shitholes?!
Historically illiterate. Go back to mexico. If you dont know why we have a bicameral legislature, then gtfo.

This is why we need to abolish the 17th Amendment.

Repealing the 17th is one of the first steps we could realistically take to reduce partisanship and political polarization in the USA

I don't think the Senate is ideal, but it serves as a check against larger states calling all the shots. There's not a happy medium solution though.

Besides, the real issue isn't a power imbalance between the entire populations of states. It's the imbalance between the richest 1% and everyone else.
