Obviously, it's a very pressing issue that low-population states have disproportionately less of a voice in this chamber than states with lots of people. This silences the low-population states and is an outrage to democracy! I don't like that my party is not in control of this particular body so that means there is obviously something systemically wrong with it and it should be abolished because I don't like it!

I will add that your argument is a particular fail because it's self-defeating. This is literally the definition of democracy, not an outrage to it.

Mega fail.

LOL.
That's exactly what I was thinking.

Wow, I feel so owned after reading this, it's getting too hard to resist being teleported to a Yemeni slave stall.

Killing filibuster in the Senate, as Dems saw their Dreams go down in flames in 2010, when McConnell blocked everything and Boehner took control of House, during an Obama midterm. They won't repeat that again.

As Dems are aiming to add 2 new appeallates to the SCOTUS and looking to add PR, and 2 new Dem Senators to the Senate in 2022, where majority control is assured with WI and PA as pickups.

You have to wonder what is wrong with some people that they think of administrative divisions as entities which deserve representation, but not actual, living, breathing people.
