State politics in the US is not based on how many people vote for or against something in a state. It’s based on how many legislative districts vote for or against something. The difference is important when you think about how legislative districts are drawn.

It's not a proportional system, yes.

Gerrymandering is a problem, yes. But even a gerrymandered state would arguably have more democratic legitimation within the state, than the federal government, which is still largely voted for by non-Texans and also with somewhat idiosyncratic election rules.
