RI and DE have more folks than WY and MT. Be careful what you wish for.

How about the reverse coin where two senators representative the massive population of California? And how many conservatives reside over there, swimming in a sea of liberalism?

I hear you with the sarcasm about inbreeding...chuckle.

but for let say a state like Wyoming with lots of land but not enough people for 2 congressmen... you start pushing a constitutional amendment about metering out Senators, it will be the low population states that would suffer.

but of course as your sarcasm implied you were just trying to make a point.

The FFs gave EVERY original state 2 Senators and a number of House reps based on population without stopping to consider two incontrovertible facts.

Actually thy knew exactly what they were doing and the two houses of congress was a compromise to get both the small and large states on-board to accept the constitution. The small states wanted every state to have equal representation, the large states argued that equal representation would give the small states an excessive amount of power at the expense of the large states. They favored representation based on population, but the small states argued that they would then be dominated by the most populous states. The compromise was two houses of congress, The Senate based on equal representation and the House based on population.

Joe Biden was repeatedly elected by tens of thousands of welfare votes from Wilmington.Most everyone in rural southern DE can’t stand this moron, but the numbers from the population centers in Northern DE carry the elections.

Never to be a defender of liberals or biden, but if I remember correctly he was born and raised in Pennsylvania.

The remainder of your contentions are pretty far out even here. It is a very slippery slope to start fundamentally to second guess our Founding Fathers, who look to be much better thinkers than 99.9% walking around today.
