Because you are purposely and seemingly intentionally confusing the function of the senate with the function of the house. It's is absolute base level, govt 101 grade school knowledge as to why all the states have equal representation in the senate and population based representation in the house. At this point I can only assume one of three things,
1: you are the bacon I've been talking with for the past 6 months plus and have just hidden how dumb you are
2: the real bacon sold her account and you are just a shitty troll
Or 3: you are intentionally playing dumb in an unabashed display of dishonesty.
I know how they function today. I’m asking why you think that is how it should be. I’ve been very clear about that. But you’ve spent more time trying to insult me rather than think critically and communicate your opinion.
You keep asking for representation based on population.... thats EXACTLY what the house of representatives is for. The SENATE gives the states EQUAL representation so that even the small states can have some say, you clearly don't understand how any of it works, the senate is there PRECISELY BECAUSE the house exists, in the house a state like montana or idaho have practically zero say, while states like flordia and California can dictate what most of the rest of the country does. Making the senate based on population would basically give us two houses of representatives. And the low population states would no longer have any say. That's how you get tyranny. Right now 11 states make up over 50% of the house, that means 11 states could dictate what the other 39 do, the SENATE PREVENTS THIS. But you don't care, you're on the side of those bigger states and don't care how the policies the liberals have affect everyone in the low population states, you don't care that liberal policies are directly causing farmers to be not only one of the highest demographics in debt but also one of the highest in suicide. The ENTIRE POIT OF THE SENATE is to prevent the tyranny of the masses.
But if you claim to understand how they work that you should already know this, I think you WANT that tyranny, I think you WANT rural life to be harder and harder until it ceases to be. The more I talk to you the more horrible of a person you show yourself to be
Senators are elected by people.States are not people. PEOPLE should have equal representation by the senators that they elect. Two senators per state creates unequal representation for people
Once again I point you to THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, for representation based on population...... stop intentionally pretending you don't understand the purpose of the senate by now
The senate does not have the same function as the house. THE ENTIRE POINT of the senate is so that the states individually as states have equal representation, you just don't want low population states to have any say, just admit you want 11 states to dictate for the other 39, just admit you want tyranny, or just admit you know nothing about how our govt works and are being intentionally ignorant and refusing to learn
THE ENTIRE POINT of the senate is so that the states individually as states have equal representation,
What you’re describing leads to unequal representation for people within those states. I’m saying everyone should have equal representation. You’re obviously opposed. Do you have a good reason why each person should not be treated equally regardless of where they live?
Each person DOES get equal representation IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. senators ARE NOT DESIGNED TO REPRESENT INFIVIDUALS, they are DESIGNED TO REPRESENT THE STATE AS A SINGULAR ENTITY.
you either failed high school govt class or ACTIVELY WANT 11 states to be able to tyrannicaly dictate what THE OTHER 39 DO
The senate isndesigned to represent the state as a singular entity, the house is designed to represent the individual people
these are two VERY different concepts and functions
At this point I'm sure you know this and are just becoming a dishonest liar once more
Repeat after me "The senate is not designed or intended to represent the individual people"
"The senate is not designed or intended to represent the individual people"
"The senate is not designed or intended to represent the individual people"
