My specific claim is that 'how senate seats are allocated' is subjective. Whether or not proportional senate representation is the only valid form for a representative democracy is the semantic argument--it doesn't rebut my original claim. I'm clearly not arguing that "proportional representation is semantics"--that doesn't even make sense.
