Abolish The Senate

[Marokai Backbeat]

I'll never understand the fear mongering over this "tyranny of the 51%!" crap. I'm much more concerned with how a minority, from incredibly disproportionately represented areas, can utterly wreck a government without even making an effort, than I am for a properly elected and representative government functioning speedily.

Those arguments re: the Senate and the House make as much sense as when people get pissy about defending the Electoral College by saying "but then they'll just focus on the highest population areas! Only a few select states will get any attention!" even though a) this is bull****; a presidential candidate isn't just going to completely ignore entire regions unless he wants to ensure he turns people against him, and b) this is what happens now anyway. But I suppose that's a digression.
