Since we live in a country where a majority of Americans are in agreement............

[RetiredGySgt]

What is “the state”. Land or people?

it is a Government stupid shit

 

[Carl in Michigan]

I want the Senate to more closely represent the views of the vast majority of Americans.

We call those, ELECTIONS.

Most of us would like HONEST elections

Hey moron, if you think red states are over represented, maybe you should move to one--I don't think you'd last long.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

states are entities that senators represent they represent the state Governments

Hmm… govt that represent people?

of the STATE. Dumber than a box of ball peens.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Google, Hollywood and Twitter don’t ‘produce’ anything.
Where are appliances, cars produced and where’s everyone moving to?

They’re produced where the closest thing to cheap third world labor is.

Your president doesn't represent me, so stop your damn whining

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Which is people.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Your president, dupe.

 

[Concerned American]

That's because you think it's "your side" that is the vast majority, but it isn't.

Aside from that; In reality, it's the Senate vs. the rest of us. They voted themselves the "Lords of America"

back in the late 70s and 80s and it's been downhill ever since.

Lobbying needs curbed and there needs to be term limits.

Well let’s see. Leaving KKKalifornia I tripled my square footage and have 4 acres on a lake.

For 1/3 the price I sold at.

Your $15/hr gets you 2 gallons of gas in the car you have to live in KKKalifornia.

 

[dblack]

Your president, dupe.

He's got a point though. Biden represents his party. He's trying to "transform" the rest of us. For our own good, of course.

 

[Concerned American]

Which have an outsized advantage, dupe.

Senators don't make laws moron. Take a civics class--it is clear you never have.

America's been minority rule since it's inception

what do you folks think the 3% er's were about?

~S~

 

[struth]

......on issues like abortion, gun control, climate change, immigration, campaign finance reform, etc., why isn't the majority's wishes reflected in public policy?

I would argue it's because of the disproportionate representation of conservatives in the Senate, more gerrymandered districts in Repub controlled states than Dem controlled states, and the comically anachronistic Electoral College. If not for the latter we likely would not have had a Repub prez since Reagan. Hence, we'd have a liberal super majority in the SC. Nor would we have suffered through Mitch McTreason being the majority leader in the Senate if not for WY's 580K residents having equal representation to CA's 39M.

Can this be fixed to prevent the current tyranny of the minority?

Haha you can’t gerrymander senate races you idiot

 

[eagle7-31]

3M people live in IO. 20M in NY.

In 2018 Dems won 18M more votes for Senate seats than Repubs but Repubs gained two seats.

So? States elect Senators.

 

[Lesh]

No. I'm saying lack of paramount objection. That's the way it is with the bulk of the laws Congress passes. When you start trying to "transform society" it gets problematic..

“Lack of paramount objection”

In what area do you see that pertaining?

What subject?

How so? What are you calling "minority rule"?
