A decent column pointing out the inherently undemocratic nature of our upper chamber.

It was never intended to be perfectly democratic.

Read the article. It acknowledges that the Senate was not meant to be democratic.

I have a feeling like left-wingers only want the Senate abolished because the Republicans won it this past midterm. Ya know, I never demanded the Senate to be abolished when Harry Reid was Majority Leader.

Given that the House is also under Republican control (and that Jacobin is not particularly pro-Democratic), that's probably not the case.
