My question was not "Do you have zero issue with the Senate functioning as intended?"
The question was --Was the Senate designed so that a simple majority can pass needed legislation,

If I can't get a "yes" or "no," or even a "yes but" on the fourth call, I'm content to let the matter lie.
In the specific incident where you bemoaned “minority rule” it actually was set up to where a relatively small minority could decide.
