    and I get none

    Only if you’re not an American or live in DC

    (population 780k) gets two. The 4.7M people in Harris County get none. That is a poor design

    Again the people in Harris county get 2 senators as their state senators represent them. And, again, senators do not represent based on population as that is the job of the house

    Senators are far more powerful than representatives

    Entirely irrelevant as they represent different things. Your representatives represent a portion of your population while your senators represent your state as a whole. The entire point of separating the state and population representation is to allow more perspectives when legislating: the house gives a perspective from closer to the people, the senate from a broader view

    Again, it seems you fundamentally don’t understand the split between house and Senate, why it exists and what it does to our governing system


  • Land doesn’t have rights

    I agree, but the point is to have a section of the government where the 50 disparate governments that make up our union have equal say. This tends to get simplified to “land gets 2 votes” because the other part of Congress is population based

    Where is their representation

    In the house, as I said already. Also, their 2 senators are part of their representation, they’re still part of the state

    Why do the Dakotas (4 senators for virtually no population) get more political power than California or Texas?

    Because the house has a limit on members. The senate is literally equal by design

    Your issue seems to be a lack of understanding of how our legislative branch works because your complaints are all root issues of the House of Representatives and not the senate



  • It’s been done before

    I saw a guy wearing an SS uniform but the armband was a rainbow and the SS insignias were all 2 dildos arranged in a 69 pattern once. Probably some more details but that’s what I remember after all these years

    This was at a gay pride parade before it was federally legalized here and if I recall right he said it was a joke on how many people thought he gay agenda was coming for them

    Dude looked good
