    I don’t want this government running any new services until we remove the utterly fucked voting system.

    While I’m writing a fantasy novel, let’s also get rid of all forms of gerrymandering. Including giving two senators to both California and Wyoming. You know what, no more Senate at all. The entirety of congress is proportional representation with more representatives than 1 per 600,000 citizens.

      Exactly

      The senate is the american version of the house of Lords and is where good legislation goes to die.

      Abolishing the senate is one step in unfucking the government. And setting up direct election of the president through popular vote. Wyoming should not have the same say in who leads the country as California.
