When all states have the same number of senators, that is a government that represents itself.
Yes the election will affect people's constitutional rights, to equal treatment under the law, and to petition the government for redress of grievances... under which people are entitled to government services.
And don't give me shit about November... that was a very small minority that voted.
The right to petition the government for redress of grievances, is the right to "government goodie programs" dickhead,

You have no how and why we came to have a bicameral legislature with one house based on proportional representation, and one house representing each state equally, do you?I was asked at school, to create a list of problems that exist in American politics, this is the list that I came up with.
1. This is a republic whereby the politicians create the laws.
Amongst those politicians, are Senators and Representatives from each state in Washington DC.
Each and every state has guaranteed equal representation in the Senate, 2 senators from each state.
This is regardless of the state's population, which creates minority rule over the majority.
It creates minority rule over the majority, because when 1 state has 15 or 30 million people, and another has less than 3 million people, and they both have equal representation in the government, the smaller population can over rule the larger population... a phenomenon called "Representing Dirt".
Why is it called representing dirt ? because you have empty states (dirt) which makes up the majority of the STATES in the USA... having greater representation in congress than the states where the PEOPLE live.
If each state has 2 senators, and the northeast, the mid atlantic and far west have the American population... and the bulk of the American land takes up more of the USA and has more states...
And BOTH the senate, and the house have to agree with each other in order to create or repeal policy...
The dirt ends up with the representation, therefore the dirt gets to decide the politics.
2. This place right here where we are at, Arkansas... is part the dirt and not the people, this state is part of the MAJORITY of the dirt... and the MINORITY of the people.. who voted republican, and continue to hold Americans hostage to right wing policies.
This state has no business having greater representation in congress, than the state of New York.
However, due to a faulty system, or one deliberately designed to represent dirt... this state does have more representation than New York.
Which it shouldn't.
3. The definition of what is the USA is, is way too fixated on national borders, and not the people...
Therefore what is patriotism, is also fixated on borders, and not the people.
What makes a nation is the people, however we're loaded with politicians who continue to represent dirt, and call their love for dirt "patriotism", while the people who actually make up the country are left to starve, like chopped liver.
This is basically what the GOP
This is basically what the GOP who is only in office because of the DIRT that I described above, continues to hold the USA to.
1. The first amendment means that one gets to claim religion, and in effect make his own laws, and get away with not abiding by ours.
2. The first amendment protects hate speech against legally protected groups which are Race, Creed, Religion, Age, Sexual Orientation, Gender, Disability, National Origin and Veteran Status.
3. The second amendment means that the individual gets to own a firearm.
4. Supply side economic politics creates wealth.
These are all false because the constitution is open to interpretation, and these are all what the GOP that represents states where Americans don't live (called dirt).. continue to hold the PEOPLE (the population) hostage to.
What needs to happen, is we need to have a popular vote in the USA.
Popular vote wins in elections, and make it mandatory to vote.
And make failure to vote, punishable by a $250,000 fine, and up to 10 years in prison.
(so that there is no low voter turnouts, and therefore minority rule)
We also need to make the representation by senators, proportionate to their state's population.
1 senator per million people.
That's what we need to do.
Again, you seem to have no clue as to what federalism actually is, why we have 2 houses in the legislative branch or anything whatsoever about our government. It is very sad to see someone that is apparently in school that seems to understand so little about their own government.The government has no business having representation by itself, and states with a smaller population having the same representation as much larger states, is representing dirt.
The lack of basic understanding in civics by Americas youth is very unsettling.It is good to see that Blue Jay has expanded his knowledge of 'Civics'.
Cheers.
