    The whole reason the Senate exists in form & structure is, among other things, to ensure that the more populous states don't run roughshod over the other states. It's operating exactly as intended. =>>https://twitter.com/StevenTDennis/status/1049259492284813313 …

    Changing the structure of the Senate to proportional representation would require many states that get additional power from its existing structure to willingly give up that power. It's not going to happen. 1/

        Except when the minority controls the House through Gerrymandering and the Presidency through the Electoral College and now the courts through the EC/Minority Ruled Senate. I’m so tired of being controlled by a minority of alt-right voters in the country.

        Both parties have practiced gerrymandering since the term was invented.

        It's subjective. But my analysis isn't based on who is winning or losing, but whether the system is working as generally intended.

        Because people in Montana should get 20x the representation of people in California. Makes sense to me.

        CA has more than 50 representatives in the House. MT has ONE. The system was designed this way.

        It may have been designed like that, but that doesn’t mean it’s viable now. The population disparity between some states renders it a joke. Our system was not designed for the modern world.

        It’s almost as if it was meant for opposing sides to work together and find ways to compromise on things for the common good.

        Ditto for the electoral college, which is there so elections can actually be decided, instead of endless, chaotic battles over swinging chads and the like.

        I would argue that it isn't operating as intended by the framers respecting the dramatic change that resulted from the 17th Amendment. Now the Senate is more so subjected to the peoples will, than those of the state.

        From http://Senate.gov : “Small-state delegates hoped to protect states’ rights . . . Fearing the effects of majority rule, they demanded equal representation in Congress.” In other words, the Senate is an institution designed to thwart the majority.

        Then why does the Electoral vote system assign votes per State by population?

        The Framers only settled on this justification for the Senate after the Great Compromise; Madison had proposed proportional rep in the Senate in the Virginia Plan and only accepted equal rep when it was clear it was the only way to resolve deadlock

        There is a reason for it but it’s not operating exactly as intended if it allows the minority’s (white males in particular) rule over the majority. The system is broken, big challenge not to over react though.

        Is that how you read the founding documents? Or, was the Senate “formed” to codify the concept of “enlightened (indirect) representation”, to reinforce the power structure built into each state legislature, & to protect the landed gentry from uneducated masses? Relevant still?

        No it isn’t. Equal representation under the law. That isn’t happening.
