abolish the senate. reapportion the house immediately and at each census (the actual reason the 10 year census is in the constitution). congressional districts to be apportioned by a fair algorithm with no exceptions. implement congressional term limits (max 2 consecutive terms).

Keep the Senate, reapportion the house, draw districts algorithmically to minimize perimeter length and cap size at 50,000, make the new 6000 Congresspeople debate & vote exclusively Online

do you mean like congressional debates or just generic cultural debates? the cultural debates basically look like twitter except sometimes there's a TV debate between candidates so that's kinda like pro wrestling but more boring.

the debates on the floor of congress don't actually exist. they don't actually decide how to vote in congress, they have a party line, or are bought by lobbyists or whatever. the only thing they do in the building there is fillibuster.
