Oof, I can feel this cartoonist's struggle to communicate everything in one panel lol. Nicely done though.

That's not true, I've overworked lots of pieces!
No? I think I see what you mean, but the States all have equal power in the Senate so its more like tug-of-war and coalition building.
Again, imo, the House is really where California's 500 pound Gorilla status should come into play but the cap means tiny States hold disproportionately waaaaaaay too much sway. The Reds should not currently control the House, not even close.
Thank you. My Bachelors of Science is in Fine Arts specializing in printmaking so, believe me, I'm more than familiar with those kinds of artists.
I just disagree.
The Senate is where the States have equal representation regardless of size, that's the point of it. The House is meant to be where California's population makes the difference, but the cap needs to be removed, imo.
Without a Senate, the most populous states drag everyone else around by sheer weight. That's not sustainable.
Also, as someone who has experienced life in both rural and urban America, city people have lots of misunderstandings about how people in small communities live and make bad decisions based on those misunderstandings as well. It's not like country folk have a monopoly on that shit.
EDIT: Just want to acknowledge the point I think you're trying to make about minority (often religiously motivated) groups passing laws that affect huge populations in cities where we have to live with each other. I totally get it, just to be clear.
Actually, I wish they'd made his girlfriend a little less, ah, childish.
Really? Please explain. Like, I get the DEI joke, but the fact all these little states are red isn't some law of the Universe. They have been blue and can be again.
Unless I'm missing some deeper joke? Apparently I am unless the down votes are just circlejerking.
EDIT: Maybe you all think the Senate should be determined by population? If so, that's what the House is for. Uncap it.
Never read any of that series but I know it's highly respected so I'll take that as a real compliment!
Californians are welcome to try to split into multiple states if they would like more Senators.
Looking at it now, it's possible I posted this upside down 🤷
Ah, also, it's butt ugly. Sry to the cartoonist, who is probably very nice, but that plasticky, slick looking tablet screen linework is starting to get to me. It's everywhere.
