And that would matter if it were the United People of America, but it's the United States of America, and it's states that get votes, apportioned by their population, and weighted to ensure that small states aren't bullied by big ones.

Instead, small states full of leeching, uneducated bigots get to bully 80% of the population! What a genius system!

You mean small states like New Hampshire, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut, or Vermont?

How the fuck do they bully anyone? Also, please tell me you're not talking about physically small states here, because that would be the dumbest shit I've heard all day
