    Californians are the only people in America that have more representation than someone in any other state.

    They just cant steam roll the other 49 states in the Federal legislative branch because the Senate protects those 49 states from California, the state with the most legislative representation in America.

    Seriously dude, shut your mouth and read a book.

      Californians are the only people in America that have more representation than someone in any other state.

      This is false. They are extremely under represented in the Senate, and the House scales with population.

        This is true, they have more representatives in congress than any other state.

        Thank you for explaining how Congress works, and contradicting yourself in the process.

          You clearly misunderstand proportionality. You keep referring to the raw number of representatives they have without factoring in their population. I’d be surprised if you’ve ever passed a mathematics class in your entire life.

            You’re just being willfully moronic now.

            You are 1 person with 54 representatives in congress, 52 in House, 2 in Senate.

            I am 1 person with 8 representatives in congress, 6 in House, 2 in Senate.

            A) You have more federal representation than me.

            B) That is exactly how the system was designed. To have 2 bodies in congress, one population based, and one not. It was designed that way for a reason.

            What a knuckle dragging fucking idiot you are.

                Just because you don’t understand federal civics and checks and balances doesn’t mean you deserve EVEN MORE control over the rest of the nation.

              Each 1 Wyoming voter is worth about 67 Californians in the senate due to the fact that California has about 67 times the population but still only 2 senators.

              38,940,231 Californians / 576,851 Wyomingites = ~67.5 ratio

                And that is what the house is for, dipshit.

                The Senate is to check an overpopulated state from having complete control over the other 49 states and whatever amount of territories or whatever we are calling them.

                Seriously dude. Try rubbing 2 brain cells together.
