It's ridiculous that each state gets two Senators, regardless of population...

19. A lot of those flyover states are Big Energy states,

and those fat cats live there and other residents vote people who serve them into power. Because, for bizarre reasons related to the actual practice of democracy, that's what they want. Just like many trying to elect an incompetent but favorite candidate POTUS. Democracy in action.

But that doesn't answer my question, which was addressed to everyone who feels a need to get rid of 2 senators for every state nonsense to make the senate more "representative." How do we do that without making the nation far less representative at the same time? On a big, big scale too. No way to fix the oppression and growing poverty and injustice of small states except to move to a big, powerful state.
