    it’s inherently undemocratic

    It’s exhausting trying to discuss shit online with people with such a terrible understanding of the topic at hand

    Senators are voted for and represent their entire state. They’re the representatives of the state’s general populace in a representative democracy

      No shit it’s exhausting. I agree with you, but you keep calling anyone who disagrees with you dumb.

      They clearly understand and disagree. The part where you said land votes is an oversimplification was the last good comment in your chain.

      One human = one vote

      Anything else is undemocratic and I think it’s morally reprehensible to support a system that values any one person above another for any reason.

        We’re never gone get 1h1v, not exactly, but this dude is literally sitting here defending a system in which a vast portion of voters - not just.voters but people in general - are unrepresented.

        Representative democracy is better. My reps should have more time to research every topic than I do. Their job is to be more informed.

        My job is to spot check on the stuff I understand.

        Their votes should be worth more than mine. And we should have a system where sometimes representatives vote against their constituents wishes because the rep has more information available to them, or is just more educated than their constituents on the topic.

          Representative democracy can still exist with 1 person = 1 vote. You could do a proportional election and weight the delegates’ votes by the number of voters they represent.
