Under exactly are you blaming the Senate for? They didn’t gerrymander a republican controlled house since 2010. They didn’t decide Citizens United. They didn’t put a racist moron in the White House.

It really isn’t. Trump would have been in office signing every bill coming out of Paul Ryan’s House, and Dems would have not been able to stop any of it.

Campaign finance reform, lobbying reform, better conflict of interest laws, or even turning over Citizens United would be FAR easier than a constitutional amendment either curtailing the power of the senate or eliminating it entirely.

Without the Senate the ACA would have been repealed, the corporate tax giveaway would have been infinitely worse, and the wall would be half done among other incredibly awful things.

You’d still be playing with fire though. Without a Senate as is the ACA would have been repealed, and any number of batshit crazy things Trump wanted to do but couldn’t would have happened in his first two years.

A better argument to be making right now, and one that will be much more important in thirty years, is to get the House to a point where it represents everyone equally by tying the size and number of congressional districts to the least populous state.

Politics is a pendulum.  Even if its swinging left now it will inevitably swing back to the right at some point.  Be careful what you wish for.

Democrats gonna democrat, OR...this could end up in court, and giving the AG a “chance” will help their chances with the judge.

“People they employ”, They are, sadly a contractor isn’t a “person they employ”, it is a company that they are using a specific service for.”

I don’t think you’re wrong.  In fact we’re pretty close to the point that an internet subscription plus all of the streaming services is just as spendy as an internet subscription plus cable.

Yeah...in other words not really that interesting.

Right...that’s what I heard too, which would surprise me a little bit.  I don’t know that HBO needs Apple, and I don’t know that Apple would write HBO a massive check to offer their service for just $5 less per month.

However, where things get a bit interesting is that thanks to partnerships with companies including HBO, the new Apple TV Channels app also makes it possible access to premium content like episodes of Game of Thrones that were previously only available from a cable package or direct through HBO via HBO Now.

The coal industry wouldn’t exist if the citizens of NYC didn’t want cheap electricity.

So you have your own solar panels then? And I wasn’t talking about electricity. I was talking about your car, your smartphone, your computer, your diet, and any number of other everyday things you use that create your carbon foot print.

NYC sends all its garbage to WV.

None of which has kept acid mine drainage and fracking devastation from happening.

Both Trump’s personal lawyer and campaign chairman are serving prison sentences.  You have Venmo?

Unfortunately, that’s simply not true. Just as a ‘for instance’ - most environmental and most energy policy is bad for sparsely populated areas but good for densely populated ones.

That’s because the POTUS is the defacto leader of the party, but he can’t get anything done without enough support from House reps and Senators from all areas of the country. Aside from the fact that if a policy is good for a densely populated area its probably good for a sparsely populated area as well, its absurd to…
