It’s obvious why the Senate exists historically, and it’s also obvious that it’s inherently undemocratic.

it’s inherently undemocratic

It's exhausting trying to discuss shit online with people with such a terrible understanding of the topic at hand

Senators are voted for and represent their entire state. They're the representatives of the state's general populace in a representative democracy

One human = one vote

Anything else is undemocratic and I think it’s morally reprehensible to support a system that values any one person above another for any reason.
