re: #67 KGxvi

Given population densities in this country, I’m coming around to the idea that we have a structural problem with the Senate. When half the Senate represents just 18% of the population, and another 20 Senators or so represent half the population, it is hard to consider the Senate a representative body.

The thing is, it’s done that way intentionally - that’s literally the reason the Senate was created, to give states with smaller populations some real power in American government. The problem, as I see it, is that the system breaks down when a political party turns into a religious organization (and/or vice versa).
