Sam's Wrap-Up

Samantha Bee

And here's the graphic:

This is a weirdness of the bicameral thing built into the Constitution. Small states were supposed to get outsized representation in order to balance their power against the big states - Separation of Powers and Minority Rights and all that.

Repubs have taken it to mean they get to rule from the minority instead of governing in partnership with the majority.

I don't know how to fix it, but there's much to be done. 

And I think it's fairly obvious that we won't get anywhere without a GOP that's a shitload more honorable than what we've seen from them in the last 30 years or so.
