If the Senate/House were demographically statistically accurate,would USA be better?

Another thread got me thinking about this.

If there were the same demographics in the US Senate and the House as there are in the United States, how much better could it be.

(That would mean more than half of each would be female, and that every minority/ethnic block would hold true to the population at hand).

1. Politics is about the distribution of resources to the public

The minorities would certainly be better off if they had someone to bargain for them.

2. Are you asking if the demographics

of the house and senate should match the demographics of the entire U.S. or if they should match the demos of the state and district they represent?

3. State. Districts change by whim, states are just states

4. I understand that

districts can be redistricted, but there could be situations with unintended consequences. The demographics of districts (not necessarily political leanings) can be significantly different within states.

5. Add economic demographics as well

and maybe so.

6. no, it wouldn't be better; black, female, whatever, they're bought by capital.
