Probably white vs black.

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?

Interesting point, is this more about racial majorities disappearing in a couple decades or your thought of addressing systemic current issues?

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

Wouldn't that further undermine relations or is that your point? TBH I don't think racial issues can be solved until actual racial majorities cease to exist and sufficient time from the intentional dehumanization used to justify slavery has passed

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

True, you think different setups beyond first past the post would also help?

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.

I am deeply skeptical of secessional success. And future probability of wars rising seems likely in that event. Insufficient cohesion even at regional levels.

Me too. It’s just marginally more likely to be successful than attempts at large-scale electoral reform.
