Nevermind how the Senate is already there to balance "unfettered democracy" and is awful at it.
Like seriously, if we wanted the senate to be the voice of the small to hold up public worst instinct, we'd add seats from territories, indigenous nations, and labor unions, and give it a veto on what the house passes instead of making it pass stuff itself.
Also upping the number of senators per delegation to a multiple of three because FUCKING SERIOUSLY WHY ONLY TWO‽
