This has nothing to do with the topic of conversation.
Your signature say "Repel the 17th amendment today". I assume you are talking about the amendment to the US constitution which gives 2 senators to each state.
What is the rationale for repeling it? Is it to get a representation proportional to the population instead of a flattening per state?
I was under the impression that the house of representative was elected proportional to the population and that the senate was elected proportional to the states. And that gives a balance of power between population and states.
Any insight?
