the US has an antiquated system: states having equal representation in the senate made sense back when the country was founded, but its nonsense now.

That being said, the have not states would never agree to losing leverage. Why would they? Like voter districts in rural Canada wouldn't give up seats even if the idea of true representative democracy would demand it.

the fact that California, on the verge of becoming the fourth biggest economy in the World has the same number of senators that North Dakota or Wyoming has is insane to me.
