I don't think senators should be by state, I think senators should hold office for 5 years and every year the entire country should elect 20 senators.

Other things we should do:

Abolish political parties.

Uncap the house, algorithmically determine representative districts with something like the shortest split-line method, and assign between 3 and 5 representatives per district.

Break the powers of the president into multiple different offices.

Make the leaders of the house and senate elected offices.

Hey now, we don't want an actual democracy now do we? Think of the corporations. With all these broken up powers it's going to get really expensive to bribe them all to subvert the will of the people.
