The United States is not and never has been a democracy. The Senate and the SCOTUS are not democratic institutions.

Can you explain why the US Senate is not democratic? And do you feel the same about the senior house for all other highly functioning democracies?

I'm assuming they are from a high populous area, and feel that overall popular vote should have the majority representation at the federal level.

I'm quite glad this is not the case, I don't want to be governed by the populist progressive votes in the coastal cities.

This is why the world is ending.
