    that doesn’t solve the issue with the senate; where every state regardless of size has two.

      No, that won’t be solved without a constitutional amendment, though. Increasing the size of Congress can help mitigate the issue, and just takes an act of Congress .

      That’s the entire purpose of the Senate. It is functioning as designed and that is not an issue.

      Congress is supposed to be two halves, one where every State is on equal footing (Senate), and one half where a larger population gets a larger voice (House).

        Just because it’s designed that way doesn’t make it a non-issue. It was designed to be shitty and I’d really like a not-shitty government, thank you.
