what? she literally represents the people of the state. that's the whole point. they voted for her.

but her job is represent the state, not the people...that's what the senate is...

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

oh, you're talking about the undemocratic nature of the senate... fair enough.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

no, i'm talking about the upper house of congress being focused on state affairs whereas the lowere house is that of the people...in fact, senators were elected by the state legislatures until the passage of the 17th amendment, which occurred before women's suffrage....

i love how you started with "no" then explained how undemocratic they are even more. states are just patches of dirt without the people. they need no separate representation.
