    It is extremely undemocratic.

    A single senator from a state with less population than a small city (500,000) in California can stop a law that would benefit tens of millions of people. It makes the votes of less populous states disproportionately more powerful than a vote from a large state.

      Sure, bit with so many offices captured by nazi allies and nhilistic pieces of shit, less is more right now.

      Now is the reason the system was set up like this, specifically so a minority can jam up the majority pushing through a bunch of plutovratic nazi shit.

      There are only 6 cities in california with >500,000 population… I don’t think you can call that a small city. Your point still stands, but let’s not get crazy with our words here.
