What's good about 39,538,223 people getting the same representation as 576,851 people?
Texas (29 million) has the same amount of senators as Vermont (645,000), what’s your point?

>Because otherwise those 576,851 would essentially have no representation at all and their interests would be ignored entirely. >
So your solution is to represent them at the expense of the (much) larger majority? How is that democratic?
>EDIT: Someone tell me a better system that also accounts for the needs of rural Americans. Otherwise your complaints are meaningless.
The rural Americans view is "they should be the only ones with represemtation", so there is no solution. Sorry, but your views are not the majoirty. That's called democracy.

>Having an insult for rural Americans instead of a solution says a lot.
They insult me with their continued support of anti democratic processes so their views get priority over the majority. You straight up want to dictate to the majority with the senate.
People would respect you more if you were honest and said you wanted to get rid of democracy.
>Mostly that you think you’re better than them,
I never said I was better than them. Stop projecting.
>and yet you still cant present a solution.
Get rid of the senate. How's that for a solution.

All you've done is stick words in my mouth and accuse me of things I've not said or done. I've never said I was better than them, or I knew more. You're not interested in debate. You want to attack me for holding crazy views like "whichever view has more votes, wins".
Take care

California should have fewer senators. By your math 1 Wyomingian is worth 68.5 Californians, and in reality 1 Whyomingian is worth at least 10 times that many californians
It’s an awful system that doesn’t even look like what was originally proposed.
