That's not the point of discussions like this and if you can't see that then well... having a conversation with you is a waste of everyone's time
The point that is being made is 'Why should an area that has more cattle carry greater weight relative to its population?'
This is an issue that is quite relevant, especially given what has happened over the past decade-and-a-half
States that have tiny populations should have the representation relative to their numbers not greater
It is probably time to lay the foundation to change the way the system is governed.
You can reasonable argue that it is likely futile given that there are too many states that benefit from this practice to get an amendment through, but that does NOT make the argument a waste of time anymore than abolishing slavery was irrelevant and a waste of time either because of the number of slave owning states

By the way, thank you for sharing something that a large majority of people here know about the Constitution. Because people point out the inherent foolishness and unfairness of something does not mean they don't know it
