malapportionment of the Senate would not be as a big of an issue if the Senate did not have a de facto supermajority requirement for legislation & if it wasn’t governed by party cartel. with both of those in place, however the Senate just acts as an intractable veto point. https://twitter.com/voxdotcom/status/1328027058933522432

not hard to imagine a Senate where weak party leadership meant all kinds of legislation got to the floor to be deliberated on and voted on with passage guaranteed by simple majority

if the senate is just going to be a veto point, rather than a governing partner, the best solution is to change the nature of the veto, such that one needs a supermajority to reject legislation from the House, rather than a supermajority to approve it.
