Okay, one more go at trying to teach Civics 101 to the one who cant walk and chew bubblegum at the same time.
So 1 state having all the power is equality?
In your mind, equal = Californian?
1 large homogenized (probably too big a world for you, but you can google) population has the right to rule over every other population?
49 groups of people get overruled because 1 of the groups has more people?
That is why checks and balances are in place. To ensure EVERYONE gets representation, not just one powerful group.
Each state does have States rights though, so they can do as they please with their group. Unless it is something that has successfully made it through checks and balances to be enforced on the nation as a whole.
EVERYONE should be represented at the Federal level, not just the majority group.
With your throwing around of the topic of slavery earlier in the conversation, I’d think you would be for that.
Californians are the only people in America that have more representation than someone in any other state.
They just cant steam roll the other 49 states in the Federal legislative branch because the Senate protects those 49 states from California, the state with the most legislative representation in America.
You clearly misunderstand proportionality. You keep referring to the raw number of representatives they have without factoring in their population. I’d be surprised if you’ve ever passed a mathematics class in your entire life.
You are 1 person with 54 representatives in congress, 52 in House, 2 in Senate.
I am 1 person with 8 representatives in congress, 6 in House, 2 in Senate.
A) You have more federal representation than me.
B) That is exactly how the system was designed. To have 2 bodies in congress, one population based, and one not. It was designed that way for a reason.
Each 1 Wyoming voter is worth about 67 Californians in the senate due to the fact that California has about 67 times the population but still only 2 senators.
38,940,231 Californians / 576,851 Wyomingites = ~67.5 ratio
The Senate is to check an overpopulated state from having complete control over the other 49 states and whatever amount of territories or whatever we are calling them.

So Californians should just live in Wyoming to get represented?

Seriously dude, shut your mouth and read a book.
They have the least representation per capita
This is false. They are extremely under represented in the Senate, and the House scales with population.
This is true, they have more representatives in congress than any other state.
Thank you for explaining how Congress works, and contradicting yourself in the process.
You clearly misunderstand proportionality. You keep referring to the raw number of representatives they have without factoring in their population. I’d be surprised if you’ve ever passed a mathematics class in your entire life.
You’re just being willfully moronic now.

What a knuckle dragging fucking idiot you are.

38,940,231 Californians / 576,851 Wyomingites = ~67.5 ratio
And that is what the house is for, dipshit.
The Senate is to check an overpopulated state from having complete control over the other 49 states and whatever amount of territories or whatever we are calling them.
Seriously dude. Try rubbing 2 brain cells together.
This is never a good argument.
Just because you don’t understand federal civics and checks and balances doesn’t mean you deserve EVEN MORE control over the rest of the nation.
