Lots of folks mistaking my normative argument for a positive one. That is, I'm arguing that the division of power should not be this way given today's equality norms. I'm not questioning why the Senate was constructed to equalize power among different sized states.

But almost never have my mentions been full of such vitriol, between responses to this post and Republican gloating in response to my post on end of blue slips for judicial nominations.

Don’t play the victim here. Your original post displayed your ignorance of American government and the Constitution. Most likely as a result of your hatred of states who don’t have as many people as any other. It’s just as dumb as if anyone else said it in another party.pic.twitter.com/pldqLe7B56

If you don't like blue slips the left can agree to put California in its own 12th Circuit.

The mistake was made in the early 20th Century with the 17th Amendment changing the election of Senators from State legislators to popular vote. The Senste was originally there to protect State rights from populist House.

Theory: Writing "Don't reply to me that we don't like in a democracy we live in a "republic." This bores me." makes you come across as insufferable, since, ya know, we actually live in a republic. Hence the vitriol.
