Spoeank posted:Today's Behind the Bastards is about Chrischan and quotes SA posts, we're through the looking glass here Interesting listen, although for an episode that frames itself as being about online harassments it kind of feels like piling on. Skwirl posted:Remember when I was called insane for saying we should abolish the Senate. I think the discussion is usually more about the implausibility/impossibility of doing such a thing through any conventional political apparatus, rather than the actual merits of the idea. Lots of people think the Senate is bullshit, I think you're in good company there. To say "the Senate should be abolished" is tantamount to saying that our entire system of governance needs to be torn down and rebuilt. And maybe that's a valid take, but making it about the Senate kind of buries the lede. General Dog fucked around with this message at 20:35 on May 10, 2022 |

started re-reading hitchiker's guide bc it soothes me and im still in awe of how great a piece of satire this book isquote:"I thought you said it was a democracy." anywho, any and all political apparatus can be torn apart overnight if people actually cared to. instead we have to wait for the slow and ceaseless eroding of their faith in all our institutions to do its job before they'll bother considering stuff like abolishing the senate

Yes, people in an earlier version of this thread said it was extreme, General Dog specifically was worried about how it would cause the flyover states (my phrasing, not his) to have significantly less representation than the coasts. I don't have archives, but if you can find the earliest time I said either "abolish the senate" or "the senate shouldn't exist" or something similar there were a lot of spicy responses to it. And I'm not talking about how it would be almost impossible to actually accomplish, which I concede.

We are a family of 5 and we only have 2.5 bathrooms. If I was rich, I would have my own bathroom. I really dislike having to share a bathroom with anyone.

We have 4 bathrooms and it's pretty nice. Slightly annoying having to supply and clean all four but such is the cost of multiple bathrooms.

D-LINK was shocked by the suggestion, a lot of people agreed, and Mr. Nice had this answer to how scaling Senate seats to population doesn't just become a second House of Reps:Mr. Nice! posted:A senate that had the same proportional makeup of the house but maintained different election cycles, term lengths, and voting thresholds would probably be the best way. The distinct term difference keeps things like tea party swings from taking too strong of a hold. Keep it so only one third of the body changes annually. Then institute a fixed and permanent supermajority rule and you've solved most of the problems. This makes it still a separate body then the house with different political pressures, but it prevents empty states from controlling the country.

It works well enough. Ask me again in a week when her parents, her brother, and her brother's partner are staying with us. I'm honestly more worried about only having one shower than I am two toilets.

I got too lazy and spoiled since my current office is a block away from a Safeway and a few blocks away from a fancy local grocery store chain but my new job doesn't have a grocery store in short walking distance. I'm going to miss the convinience of taking 15 minutes to get all the stuff I need for dinner, can't lie.

I wish. We have a maste bed/bath mother in law apartment so when we have people over we don't even get total sleep security since wd have to keep the door open for bathroom access. There is a door to the bathroom but still a little awkard when you're desperately trying to prentend you're still asleep after getting woken up by your inlaws going to the bathroom.

pmchem posted:you referring to these posts? It's an interesting pro-senate response, in that it entirely misses the actual divisions between the parties in the US. Sure, nominally the republicans are more "pro-farmer" or something but the division isn't really rural/urban, it's an economic and educational and racial split, and also, the rural states and counties run by republicans are absurdly poor and undereducated and white. Or to put it another way: arguably, the way the senate and the electoral college work is the reason the rural states continue to be poor and poorly-educated. Anyway, I'll concede that a couple of people in the thread were genuinely opposed to abolishing/replacing/radically reformulating the Senate. I think the majority of the thread, other than those isolated voices, is either in favor of it, or uninterested in commenting either way.

I mean I think it's a bit silly because if you have the revolutionary control of the government and armed forces necessary to be in a position to abolish the senate you should be aiming a heck of lot higher then that.

There won't be any changes to the senate without changes to everything else in the government, and the only people even close to changing the constitution are republicans, so....

This nation is irrevocably hosed. I do not envision any counter ever happening to the right wing propaganda machine because there's no money to be made in it. As a result, the game is rigged in their favor. States are gerrymandered to a point that supermajority D turnout still results in supermajority R state houses. The supreme court corrupt to a point that is absurd. The leaders of the opposition party tut-tut about a few old people being made uncomfortable by people chanting near their homes "please don't strip our rights."
