“That’s not even the biggest problem. They have massive societal and cultural problems and their media only exploits and perpetuates it for the sake of ad revenue.”
Unfortunately it is the problem and the reason you won’t see an end to the problem in our lifetime. The Senate was set up the way it is in order to appease the ex slave owning states and the mid western states who’d hoped to become slave owning states and gutted that they wouldn’t be able to.
It was done in order to bring the rebel states onside in the shadow of the civil war. It was done in the name of ‘healing’ the nation. Remember that the next time a politician uses the word ‘healing.’
The Senate is quite literally white supremacy signed into law. A vote for a senator in Mississippi is worth a hundred and twenty votes cast in California for instance. So to say it is not the biggest problem seem quite strange to me.
If you were to say it’s an underlying problem so massive that it will never be addressed, the best we can do is apply a few sticking plasters or paper over the cracks until it all blows up again sometime in the future then I’d agree with you. That is probably what’s going to happen.
The Senate is less Democratic than our House of Lords. Our second house is made up of appointees by the sitting government, rather like the supreme court.
The Senate is the original sin of post civil war America. The Senate makes the vote of one person worth more than that of another. It’s black and white.
