True direct democracy would make 70% of the land mass of the USA pointless. 70% of the landmass is nearly uninhabited so who cares? The people who live in lower population areas? So, the minority should rule over the majority? Who said that? You do realize that lower population states already have less representation in the House right? If you get rid of the Senate you're left with just the House, and those two departments of Congress are meant to balance each other, which is why laws have to pass votes in both the house and Senate. --- Monster Hunter Fanatic, Diablo Slayer, Senechal of Gran Soren Switch Friend Code: SW-1661-1393-5330 PSN: Sabram <cite>Sabram posted [p:912138717] in The senate...

Garioshi 11/09/18 11:09:33 PM #38:	The Senate is inherently undemocratic and should be abolished. Anyone employing the Federalist 10 argument apparently doesn't understand that we have a Constitution that lays out rights that cannot be taken away form the minority from the majority. Any argument relying on the minority being oppressed by the majority is invalid. You don't see the nebulous minority in the UK being oppressed by the nebulous majority in Parliament, do you? --- "I can't wait to get cancer" - Forgotten, 2018 <cite>Garioshi posted [p:912139928] in The senate...
