A resolution called for ending the ability to vote for U.S. senators. Instead, senators would get appointed by state legislatures, as it generally worked 110 years ago prior to the passage of the 17th Amendment in 1913.

“We are devolving into a democracy, because congressmen and senators are elected by the same pool,” was how one GOP delegate put it to the convention. “We do not want to be a democracy.”

    Get fucked. The #fascist #GOP won’t even be a national party by 2028.

    And the faster they die, like the Know-Nothings they’ve been emulating, the better.

      You say that, but there are a lot of liberals that think abstaining or voting third-party will do anything other than get Trump back in office.

          I try my best to substantiate the truth by linking credible sources in hopes it’ll help when people start slinging opinions as facts.
