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

Exactly. The whole idea of civil rights has been turned inside out, with "equity" replacing equal rights

The Right keeps misrepresenting the Left's advocacy for equal opportunity as equal outcomes.

 

[berg80]

As usual you really don't know what you are talking about.

Allow me to disabuse you of the notion that I care what you think.

The Right keeps misrepresenting the Left's advocacy for equal opportunity as equal outcomes.

Don't turn around too quickly, people are laughing at you behind your back.

 

[Billiejeens]

that isnt the senates job the senate represents the States not the people, god do any of you retards understand the Constitution.

That's how it was originally intended.
That's not how it is currently.

Most of the posts on "equity" come from the left. THEY characterize it that way.

 

[Billiejeens]

Allow me to disabuse you of the notion that I care what you think.

You aren't intelligent enough.

The Right keeps misrepresenting the Left's advocacy for equal opportunity as equal outcomes.

The left states that.
We simply listen to what they say.

Maybe. This would be a step in the right direction.

Majority of Americans continue to favor moving away from Electoral College​

again pass an amendment.

So you don't care about the voice of the individual states, or the needs and wishes of the people in them. You just want to dissolve the federal system?

The needs and wishes of 580k people should not carry the same weight as the needs and wishes of 39m people.

In front also.

The needs and wishes of 580k people should not carry the same weight as the needs and wishes of 39m people.

Depends entirely on the needs and wishes.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

senate-2 per state

House-proportional to population.

Your 'plan' is an attempt to have big states rule the country.

Founding Fathers were too smart for that to happen.

As opposed to minority rule?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

your plan is tyranny.

Tyranny of the minority already exists as pointed out by the OP.

Just ignorance.
Smarten up.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Depends entirely on the needs and wishes.

It doesn’t. The bulk of the US population is underrepresented in the Senate.

 

[Billiejeens]

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?
Do you not understand United States Government.
If not, why not?

 

[RetiredGySgt]

The needs and wishes of 580k people should not carry the same weight as the needs and wishes of 39m people.

As I said you dont like it? Get an amendment passed and try and change it

 

[RetiredGySgt]

It doesn’t. The bulk of the US population is underrepresented in the Senate.

the Senate doesn't represent the people it represents the States.

The needs and wishes of 580k people should not carry the same weight as the needs and wishes of 39m people.

Thats the reason for 2 Houses, one for the people, one for the states.
