MA Senate Special Election Poll

Yankee, you may have worked constructively on healthcare as a senator, but I tend to doubt that the GOP ever intended to cooperate in any way on healthcare.

Not that I demand that, that's perfectly fine as they're a pathetic minority, which shouldn't have any influence on the legislative process anyway.

Only thing is the Democratic caucus needs to hold its votes together.

One thing I do wonder though, if you demand minority input on every piece of legislation, saying the majority has no right to push its agenda through, what are elections ultimately for then?

Like you'd say that if Republicans were in power

I would indeed. That's the point of democracy.

The U.S. is not a democracy, sorry.

Look I'm not getting into this Democracy v. Republic debate again. It's pointless debating that issue with trolls such as yourself, considering that you ignore widely accepted definitions.

Franzl doesn't understand the purpose of the Senate anyways, so don't even bother.

Who determines what the purpose of the Senate is? The founding fathers again?

Why should it be relevant in current debates about how the Senate should be?
