> Is China or India any less represented at the UN because they have the same number of votes as Cuba and Micronesia
Yes, very much so. That’s part of why the UN is not taken very seriously and why the security council exists.
> The senate has plenty of representativity.
Debatable. It was certainly fit for purpose when it was set in place. Is it appropriate nowadays? Probably not, especially when you consider how it impacts the electoral college.
I tend to find the USA political system a bit dubious (I think the same of the one of my own country to be clear and I generally have a poor opinion of presidential systems anyway). Still, the country has been mostly stable until now so I guess it’s fit for purpose.
