@NZedAUS @airshipper @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews The major problem of the US Senate is that it is aggressively anti-majoritarian. If there was some way to weight their voting power to prevent a few low-population states from suppressing large-population states, then the damage of the Senate is reduced.

@Stybba3019 @airshipper @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews the 2 Senators per State formula locks in the anti-majoritarian equation. If you were starting all over again, you'd do it on a proportionate basis.

@NZedAUS @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews @Stybba3019 @airshipper That just re-creates the House, doesn’t it?

@michaelgemar @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews @Stybba3019 @airshipper Australia's Senate is proportionate, as is its House of Reps.
Its pretty crazy that states like Wyoming & Montana have as much say and sway as CA and Texas for example.

@NZedAUS @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews @Stybba3019 @airshipper I completely agree that the disproportionate sway low population states have is absurd and anti-democratic, but I’m not clear that just replicating the House makes a lot of sense — in that case, why not just abolish the Senate?

@PeachMcD @michaelgemar @NZedAUS @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews @Stybba3019 @airshipper I like PR. And also ranked choice voting. Do you think having those systems would help third parties establish themselves in the States?
