The people who want to abolish the Senate or at least the fact that it represents the states and not the people (who are mostly Democrats) should directly ask for the United States of America to stop being a federal nation, since it's clear they want the intervention of the national government in every single issue.
And to be clear I would agree with them - the American way of federalism at times seems to be a recipe for disfunction.
The greatest danger is a gridlocked government unable to act and divided against itself with competing popular legitimacies. We can’t have it both ways. Either the senate is designed to protect minorities and hold sacrosanct the equality among states as peers and political entities, or it represents all people. Let’s not stick with this inane and stupid system which necessarily enforced the worst characteristics of both.
So you would see favorably a repeal of the Seventeenth Amendment?
