Senate fails the country again.

[Gwence]

this was a lazy bill to be honest, can't say I care one way or the other that it didnt pass.

with that said, I'll remind you all that in any other developed democratic country around the world the bill would have passed with a 56% majority vote

for some reason we have a filibuster in this country that lets the losing side basically
"call shenanigans" and veto the bill.

The bigger issue here imo is the representation in the Senate, when the constitution was being written and the bill of rights and everything else the founding fathers put together none of them could have predicted that this country would evolve into 50 states and that some of those states (Montana, Alaska, Wyoming, etc etc) from a population standpoint would be much much less than our bigger states.

Why then do those states get an equal amount of representation in the Senate? They don't in the House... it doesn't make much sense for the Senate either.
