Abolishing the Senate is basically the right call small-d democratically and for empowering the legislative branch - concerns about "But imagine what the GOP could do with total control!" is an argument against giving the GOP total control! And honestly, if they can win democratically (and I stress democratically here, the Electoral College and the incessant voter suppression is anything but) then they've earned the right to try and enact their agenda - it would be what the people voted for as much as I would despair about the consequences. Instead we have this bastardized system where they can govern - and gain total control of all three branches - with minority rule and that is very much a problem, especially since they've embraced that and continue to double-down on it. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ...
