I mean it’s like a drunk looking for his keys where the light is shining. The most easily institutionalized divide in an electoral sense is not necessarily the most important one in terms of risk of tyranny of majority.

Thought experiment: what if black people got an extra senator in every state where they’re above some percent? Or just got to vote twice?

Current systemic/structural issues. And specifically black. Other racial minorities have less to complain about.

Not a serious proposal. Just pointing out that the electoral college and senate systems are not the greatest defense against majoritarian forces.

I don’t know whether structural interventions are the cure. There seems to be a more basic lack of fellowship. Possibly one or more secessions would be best if there were peaceful paths to them.
