107 years ago a motion was made in the House to dissolve the Senate. (the only helpful motion the minority party could make.)

Anyone know anything about this?
 
Anyone who would want to dissolve the Senate (and the electoral college for that matter) is someone who truly doesn't give a fuck about the little guy.

Define "get done."

If you didn't have a Senate, then the states that have more people would make the states that don't completely irrelevant from a congressional representation standpoint. It would be a step closer to the smallest, most densely populated areas of the country dictating how vast swaths of the country are governed. Only big government authoritarians would be on board with that.
 
Wild swings in policy from one extreme to the other back and forth is a really bad idea. It should be difficult to get things done in Washington, its the only way to control that bunch of dumb asses.
 
Maher said we should abolish the electoral college and count actual votes.

Needless to say, RWNJs are terrified of that one.
 
How about the reverse ?

Have you seen the tools who get elected to the house ?
 
The Progs tried to silence the power of the states as best they could at the turn of the 20th century by not allowing states to appoint Senators and instead have direct elections.

Apparently, they want state rights diminished even more.

Shocking!

Apparently they want to monkey's in mass to vote for one man to run the world......except Trump.

LMAO!

why? the way to elect presidents is electoral college. why would we be scared exactly?
 
The electoral college means your vote doesn't count.
No it doesn't. It means your vote either matters a whole lot, or it doesn't. If you're in a swing state, then your vote matters big time. If you're on the majority side of a state, your vote counts for more than it would otherwise. If you're on the minority side, then it doesn't mean anything. Well, it doesn't mean anything except to those who constantly say "well so and so won the popular vote!"

That's only on the micro level though. The macro level is what's more important. As long as you're going to have such a powerful, overreaching federal government like we do, you might as well make sure the whole country gets to vote on who constitutes it, rather than just mostly New York, Illinois, Texas and California. Without the electoral college, the smaller states get ran right over and have people from hundreds to thousands of miles away deciding on how they're governed. As said, as long as you're a big government authoritarian who believes they know what's better for someone than they themselves do, I can certainly understand why you don't like the electoral college and the concept of the senate.

Yep, the freaks want Calif and NY running the show.

They want every state to be a shithole like they are.

Equality is what animates the left. But it’s always dragging everyone down to the lowest denominator, never building up.

No, what needs to be done is return the Senate to representing the needs and rights of the State they come from.
