The government as it was set up in the late 1700s just cannot work efficiently anymore. There are too many people, too many states, and we've just begun to exploit the many weak spots the Founding Fathers never thought of.

The government as it was set up in the late 1700s just cannot work efficiently anymore. There are too many people, too many states, and we've just begun to exploit the many weak spots the Founding Fathers never thought of. In our history 5 times a president won the electoral vote while losing the popular vote. This should be unacceptable, but of course it wasn't. Basically they invented this method because they couldn't think of anything else.
And representation in a democracy should be population-based, but states each have 2 senators regardless of how many people live there. Nobody else on earth has such a "democracy."
I agree 100%, representation should be one person, one vote, majority rule. And, given that the country is as much divided now between the forces of democracy, on the one hand, and authoritarian despotic rule, on the other hand, just not purely geographically, makes the prospect for holding it together going forward look bleak. The modern Confederacy (MAGA/KKK Republicans) will ultimately destroy the Union so that they can have their white Protestant autocracy.
