MODERATORS
You're just being willfully moronic now.
You are 1 person with 54 representatives in congress, 52 in House, 2 in Senate.
I am 1 person with 8 representatives in congress, 6 in House, 2 in Senate.
A) You have more federal representation than me.
B) That is exactly how the system was designed. To have 2 bodies in congress, one population based, and one not. It was designed that way for a reason.
What a knuckle dragging fucking idiot you are.
This is never a good argument.
Just because you don't understand federal civics and checks and balances doesn't mean you deserve EVEN MORE control over the rest of the nation.
Each 1 Wyoming voter is worth about 67 Californians in the senate due to the fact that California has about 67 times the population but still only 2 senators.
38,940,231 Californians / 576,851 Wyomingites = ~67.5 ratio
And that is what the house is for, dipshit.
The Senate is to check an overpopulated state from having complete control over the other 49 states and whatever amount of territories or whatever we are calling them.
Seriously dude. Try rubbing 2 brain cells together.
Nothing you've written amounts to an argument. Your appeals to tradition are a logical fallacy. I suggest you read about the Connecticut Compromise and stop writing unnecessary insults which do nothing productive.
