but her job is represent the state, not the people...that's what the senate is...

oh, you're talking about the undemocratic nature of the senate... fair enough.

[–] notsure@fedia.io 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

no, i'm talking about the upper house of congress being focused on state affairs whereas the lowere house is that of the people...in fact, senators were elected by the state legislatures until the passage of the 17th amendment, which occurred before women's suffrage....

i love how you started with "no" then explained how undemocratic they are even more. states are just patches of dirt without the people. they need no separate representation.
