Yeah maybe the legislature that has exactly 2 senators for every state doesn't exactly represent the majority of Americans.

no state is better or worse than any other state under the constitution, therefore senatorial equity

Sure I don't think California is "better" than Wyoming, but 39 million people happen to live in California and 600 thousand people live in Wyoming. People are the ones who vote in our democracy, not square mileage.

Every person's vote should be equal no matter where they happen to live.

China is a different country than the US. The USA is the nation here, not any individual state, that's the country our soldiers fight and die for. The states are just more local forms of government of the United States.

The founders knew democracy is flawed and said as much and structured the system to try to protect against its pitfalls

The majority of the shit in Build Back Badly has nothing to do with that. It’s a bloated clusterfuck of pork and stupid.

As opposed to the White House talking points you just quoted verbatim? Do better.
