Another partisan knee slapper. So are you telling us that the left does not support " one person one vote" ?
Are you saying some people should have more votes then others?
I hate to tell you but that is how democracy works is politicians manipulate the masses so they vote for them instead of their opponent.

Here let me help you with a example we have politicians who are running around the country promising Medicare for all, universal child care, college loan forgiveness or free college, and of course more tax cuts and other bribes and no way to pay for any of it. That is democracy the leaders manipulate {easily} the ignorant unwashed masses.

I thought you knew this? and here you are making fun of toothless hill billies. LMAO

You do realize we are a collection of STATES, not a centralized COLLECTIVE like the former Soviet Union, right? The Federal government was supposed to be subservient to the STATES.

Learn history, and civics people.

When it comes to thinking and decide what is right for the citizens today’s politicians are intellectual lightweights compared to the founding fathers.

We have that at the state level.

States matter.

"toothless hillbillies"... this just tells you their need to ridicule others to make themselves feel more important

Totally in favor of this. Wyoming has the same number of Senators as California. That’s not representative of anything.

That's why there's a House of Representatives.

The existing system is brilliant, which is why is has lasted this long.

Population is taken into account in the House.

States are taken into account in the Senate.

The founders understood that both were important and needed to be represented properly.

Hardley. That is all the country has.
Trump republicans have Russia $audi Arabia and China. Were in the battle for our lives.
Any leader who favors dictators and insults our allies is UNFIT for office of American Presidency.
