As Democrats like to point out, they have won the national popular vote seven times in the past eight presidential elections,along witha majority of ballots cast nationwide in six of the past eight Senate elections. But national votetalliesdon’t count for anything under our constitutional rules.

正如民主党人喜好指出的那样，他们在曩昔8次总统推举中博得了7次天下普选，在曩昔8次商讨院推举中博得了6次天下大都选票。但在咱们的宪律例则下，国度选票统计成果没有任何意义。
Liberals can (and do) complain about this all day, but saying “If the Constitution didn’t exist,Capitol Hillwould be mostly Democrats” is like saying “If the weak nuclear force didn’t exist, the galaxy would be mostlyphotons.” Neat, but so what?

自由派可以（也确切）成天埋怨这个问题，但说 “若是没有宪法，美国国会大部门都将是民主党人”，就像说 “若是弱核力不存在，星河系重要会由光子组成”。确切，但那又怎么？
Although Democrats could potentially even out theirElectoral
Collegedisadvantage by making big southern states like Texas competitive, they look truly doomed in the Senate, which disproportionatelyempowersrural white populations that overwhelmingly vote Republican.

“We have an election system that makes it basically impossible for Democrats’ current coalition to ever wield legislative power,” the polling analyst David Shor told Politico. That sounds a bitlugubrious, but consider this: In the 2018midterms, Democratic Senate candidates won 18 million more votes than Republicans nationwide, and the party still lost two net Senate seats.

“咱们的推举轨制让民主党今朝的同盟根基上不成能行使立法权，”民调阐发师大卫·肖尔奉告政治频道的记者。这听起来有点灰心，但想一想看：在2018年中期推举中，民主党商讨院候选人在天下范畴内博得的选票比共和党人多1800万张，该党最后仍落空了两个商讨院席位。
This problem is only going to get worse. One analysis ofCensus Bureaudata projected that by 2040, roughly half of the population will be represented by 16 senators; the other, more rural half will have 84 senators at their disposal. If Democrats don’t find a way to broaden their coalition into less populous states with smaller metro areas, it may be impossible to pass liberal laws for the next generation.

这个问题只会愈来愈紧张。生齿普查局的一项数据阐发展望，到2040年，将有16名商讨院代表约莫一半的生齿；而另外一半，由更多屯子生齿组成的地域将有84名商讨员作为代表。若是民主党人没法将他们的群体扩展到生齿较少、市区较小的州，也许下一次就不成能经由过程自由主义法案了。
