(1,629 posts)Or perhaps you don't have a clue what the term democratic means... hint demo = PEOPLE crat=rule.
I ran the numbers using the July 2016 US official population estimates for the states. I assigned the half the state's population to each Senator and looked at how many each party represented. That's where the 33 million comes from. Of course perhaps I screwed up. I await your "objective" evidence my numbers are wrong. Here they are
GOP 144,101,643
DEM 177,262,559
IND 873,937
Obviously you also don't know that 18% of the US population gets 52% of the Senate seats where they can block anything coming out of the House... plus have special powers like with nominations. Clarence Thomas was ratified by Senators representing less than half the US population. He then goes on to be a key vote in Bush v Gore.
