  • Agree entirely except the part about the people keeping a Republican Senate. The Senate is rigged. 1 person from Wyoming should not have the same power as 65 from California. The entire point of the Senate is to rig things against what most people want if it goes against what small states want.

    “According to James Madison, “The use of the Senate is to consist in proceeding with more coolness, with more system, and with more wisdom, than the popular branch.””

    By far the popular vote is not for the GOP and hasn’t been since 2004. The Senate makes sure that doesn’t matter. Gerrymandering the house does the rest.

    Similar to the Senate issue, the last time a Republican won both the popular vote and the electoral vote was again 2004. The electoral college is the same problem compounded. The people haven’t picked a Republican president in 20 years.
