The states are represented in the senate. That should be IT!

@Roundandroundwego "Ruling Elites" I love that. I vote for the government of my state and my nation. And I know my vote will be counted.. And we dont do "Elites" here. We tax them..😷

According to Republicans we don’t live in a democracy. On the other hand the way things are going, I don’t know how long we will remain a democracy.

@jofun925 that's called history revision. A republic is a kind of democracy.

@trollslayer Exactly, we are a representative democracy. Republicans say that because they don’t want to be bound by democratic norms.
America is suffering from a right wing fascist movement so it will be no Surprise.
Well since the USA is a republic, citizens vote for their representatives who SHOULD vote on their behalf. One problem is when the popular majority wants something wrong - such as slavery for extreme example.

@VeronicaJane why did the USA pretend to back the right to vote for individuals for two hundred years?
It's important to vote for the elected officials to represent them, @Roundandroundwego. Sadly, too many do not bother to exercise their civic duty; but probable would be more than happy to complain....

Well, prior to the 17th amendment, state legislatures determined who their senators were, not the public.

We need to repeal the 17th Amendment ASAP along with four or five others or this country is TOAST
