America is held hostage by flyover states

That's plenty fair. The Senate is not the house of the people. It is the house of the States. This is why we need to go back to appointing Senators.
They have a vote. Senators should be predicated on population . Wyoming has 2 senators. population 600,000 California 2 sens . population 40 million. That is not fair.

The Americans subspecies and dying demographic


A flyover state is the huge region between the coasts. As opposed to the eastern seaboard, northern post-industrial states and Pacific Ocean states. They’re overwhelmingly Republican, staunchly conservative, regressive right wing, evangelical Christian and working class, well, the loudest, most ill-informed of them are.

Not to worry. trump's anti trade policies will starve the entire middle of the country very shortly. Of course, they've been voting against their best interests for decades, so don't expect them to vote Democrat.

Maybe they'll just starve to death.

they are intentionally NOT based on population......if they were why would we need two houses of Congress......just eliminate the senate, we already have a House of Representatives......

Of course but there were 13 states and no population extremes back then. The extremes make the Senate less proportional and increasingly less fair. Times change. The logic should keep up.,
 
Let's see what Guano claims.

In the meantime, let's compare a 1932 Hooverville with a modern paradise run completely by DEMOCRATS:

So Legion is arguing for a guaranteed income. good. No reason a rich country should abandon the poor and needy.
 
The argument here is based on a false premise. Texas and Florida are hardly fly over States and the North East, Great Lakes and Pacific Coast States have enough electoral votes to win a Presidential election.

The Senate was designed to be undemocratic by our founding fathers and the Southern States have used voting in a solid block to dominate both houses with a minority of the population of less than 25%. That can be fixed in the House by eliminating seniority. The Senate would require a constitutional amendment to be based on population which is unlikely to happen.
