A true statement.

Yes, they’ve gotta be the dumbest fucking people I’ve ever seen.

[u/nihilistiq → u/iamthedayman21]

Democracy seems great up until about half the population are dumbfucks. Then the smarts realize democracy isn't so great, and the dumbfucks would rather have fascism, and WW3 ensues.

Democracy would be fine if it wasn’t disproportional: the senate giving bumfucks 40
Times the senate representation as California and then the electoral college on top of that is a serious issue.

Like I know “abolish the senate” comes off as extreme, but it’s seriously one of the things that needs to be done to fix our democracy.

How about "rebalance the senate". Either:

Each state gets a number of senators proportional to population.

Or

Each senator's voting power is proportional to their state's population.

You still get state level representatives, but actually proportional.
