Who is the woman running for senator who has the commercial with the Joan Jett music playing and shes talking about how she’s a mom and was a helicopter pilot and ends with her putting on aviators and flying away in a Blackhawk? It looked so stupid I am going to vote for her opponent

He is saying the Senate would be elected at-large by the state rather than single member districts.

Yes. The US Senate would still be statewide elections, and still spread over 6 years so only x/3 seats are up at any one election. For some states, there would only be one seat, for others, considerably more.

It's crazy how they'd all rather keep suckin' the pissfuck's dick and destroy the pretense to legitimacy of their own religion rather than try challenging him in a primary.

I guess on the bright side when Trump falters, the entire party will probably implode again until they find another fascist darling.

it's 52! they hosed up delaware

also yeah abolishing the senate would probably do most for political progress. my plan for reform in the house is just to elect them by party-list proportionally by state, so texas would have a roughly 3% electoral threshold to win a seat

He doesn’t actually need to retire to have time to do that job, so is it illegal to be a legislator and a public employee at the same time or something?

Maybe he's sick of being in the minority party especially since the leadership seems to be fine with eroding the last vestiges of Democratic power in that chamber

It actually is. Can't be a state employee and run for any office higher than municipal or maybe county level since otherwise you could potentially have influence over your own job/budget/etc.
