This isn’t a partisan thing: I just want my vote to count the same as someone in Wyoming and California. That doesn’t seem like a lot to ask out of a democracy.

The point of the Senate is for equal representation regardless of population. The point of the House is for proportional representation.
But why even have a house with equal representation for all states? It makes zero sense and was only put in place because small states got angry at the convention. It’s not fair and it doesn’t do a good job “representing” the country.
