Broke as f
Just flat out undemocratic stuff going on.
This is not a representative government.
Translation, the rules we've operated under for over 200 years don't work in my favor, so let's change them.  Sad.

The Senate has always had two Senators per state.  Willful obtuseness does not advance the discussion.

We're discussing minority rule in general.  The Senate is a prime example of this and has been discussed in detail within this thread.  An easier way to answer your questions would be to actually read the thread before commenting.

Your shtick is boring.  Either contribute to the discussion or kindly stop wasting our time.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.

Yes. 

I was preparing a contribution to this thread, as the topic interests me.
But I am wholly turned off by the drumbeat of negative comments you append to response after response.

You mean to Fred's attempts to derail the thread that you, again, magically don't see?  Did you notice the conversation was proceeding with no issue until Fred inserted his regressive commentary?  Alternatively, you could actually post something that contributes to the conversation instead of contributing to the actual derailment, something you claim to decry.

Stop framing this as a Fred problem. No one else habitually runs others down as is done in your posts above.

Sure, Dill.  According to your clearly unbiased opinion.

I WISH you would get back to the actual topic and end this unceasing and unnecessary assessment of other posters' motives and abilities.

I was on topic.  You and Fred caused the conversation to go off topic.  Own your behavior and be the change you ask of others.  I promise you it will help.
