The thing that I really struggle with understanding about the Senate system at least is how when there is a 51/49-ish split that it makes any sense for that seat to be controlled for the entire state by the 51 side. Why wouldn't doubling the seats make this more representative?
- goldenManatee 5y agoThe thing about the Senate is it is bastardized tyranny by the minority. Those best able to organize always win-out, and that means large state-bound corporations and major donors become best represented by bodies like the Senate. It’s power is sustained by the appearance of fairness.
