Elitism going totally unquestioned is just the best thing ever. Particularly since we embed it in every school child from an early age, so the few that do end up questioning it inherently are the minority by the fact most people never think about it again.

The entire point was "this system, created by wealthy white men, many of whom owned slaves is a bad system". Saying "this is the system as intended by those wealthy white slaveowners" isn't the slam-dunk argument he seems to think it is.

I mean, the whole debate & compromise over representation was a proxy for sovereignty, & the supremacy of the national people over the states has been settled for 160 years, save the most radical repeal-the-17th-Amt. types. The Senate is as vestigial as the House of Lords.

The rules are bullshit "If you had learned civics, you'd know these are the rules, whether you like it or not" I know these are the rules, I just said those are bullshit "Look, we can't have a debate if you don't know what the basics are. I'm tired of arguing with children"
