    People have opinions, not states. Senators represent people, not states. A senator representing 10,000,000 people and a senator representating 2,000,000 people may have equal power, but that doesn’t mean their opinions are equally popular. I understand that what is popular in one state might not be popular in another. It’s fine to say an opinion is popular in Wyoming, but if it’s not popular in California then it’s an unpopular opinion, not an even split. Only in America would someone say 11,000,000 vs 200,000 is an even split.

      As a country we are fairly split along republican and democrats.

      Not sure why you keep babbling about California. The states is going bankrupt, people are fleeing the state like crazy and nobody cares what they think. They created their problem by voting democrat.
