Eliminating the Senate might seem like a good way to reduce the outsized influence that voters in smaller states wield, but the Senate helps keep those states in the union.

Also, the death penalty should be eliminated, not expanded.

We obviously need to address the fact that our government doesn't represent the country, but drastically increasing the ability of larger states to ride roughshod over the interests of smaller states is not a recipe for stability.

Death penalty only for white collar crime?

The absolutists are wild... Some people absolutely deserve to never have influence over someone else ever again. There are only so many ways to actually accomplish that...

Don’t kill. Killing is wrong. No, seriously, it is so so bad. Don’t even think about it, because if you kill, we will kill you right back buster!

The death penalty thing was said tongue in cheek. And we already settled the whole can you leave the union thing a little while back.

In that case California should secede; we'll be better represented that way.

the Senate helps keep those states in the union.

Oh, so we need the Senate to keep such valuable states as Alabama, Mississippi and Florida in the union?

This is like arguing the need for the Senate filibuster, because of how important it was to such orators as Strom Thurmond and Richard Russell.

I'm fine keeping the Senate on the condition that if you suppress voting for a senator, he can't be seated.
