Why tricameral? What would the third house's use be?
Y'all want to keep the Senate, CM wants a more proportional thing, so why not compromise and do both

Many people Buffalo and rural favor cutting NYC out if Nay stars because they dominate the state politics. What you propose is exactly that. The populous states will dominate politics while the less populous states will be dictated to, even though cultures and needs are different.
Say rather five states instead of two. When we say cities would rule, it's kind of a misnomer, we mean urban areas as a whole. There's a difference between the 12 million that make up NY and LA and the 50 million that make up their metro areas as a whole, but it's the latter that we actually see as a problem.
I mean, for starters those 50 million are less politically homogeneous than you give them credit for (@Staten Island and Orange County, for example), and secondly- if a majority or large plurality of the American people are concentrated in the metro areas/combined statistical regions surrounding several major cities,
what the fuck is wrong with giving them adequate representation?The real issue here is that some people happen not to agree with the party that tends to do well in many large regions of those metropolitan areas, so they paint giving them adequate representation as giving them undue power.

See? I can ignore literally everything else to make retarded comparisons as well.
I mean, if you don't want to define it just because my question seems confrontational is fine, but you are the one who is allowing a bad interpretation of it by not clarifying when someone asks you to.
I think CM already identified single-member districts in speaking of election directly by the voting population, though I could be mistaken, and STV rather than FPTP like the Rajya Sabha is a big change, so characterizing there as being "exactly no difference" is quite silly, and being belligerent about your error is even sillier
