Judge refuses to reinstate Parler after Amazon shut it down

You're still missing the point. The lowest number of electors a state can have is three. Mathematically, this biases the EC in favor of low population states.

The same approach (all states having two senators) biases the Senate in favor of low population states.

This appears to have been intentional on the part of the founders, but that doesn't make it right.

Yes it was designed for this purpose. That's what I'm saying.

So big states couldn't bully around small ones.

In just a few years, 30% of the US population will be responsible for electing 70% of the Senate.

How is that not "bullying"?

How does that play any role in an actual democratic nation, as opposed to some pre-Lincoln concept of the US a series of independent states merely "unioned"? The answer is obvious: it doesn't.

I guess it's better for small states to bully around big ones instead?
