GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Thursday called the Senate “the most privileged nursing home in the country.”
In response to a question about Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) apparently freezing up on Wednesday while taking questions in Covington, Ky., Haley said on Fox News that the Kentucky senator has “done some great things, and he deserves credit,” but emphasized that “you have to know when to leave.”
““No one should feel good about seeing that any more than we should feel good about seeing Dianne Feinstein, any more than we should feel good about a lot of what’s happening or seeing Joe Biden’s decline,” Haley said. “What I will say is, right now, the Senate is the most privileged nursing home in the country.”
Abolishing the senate is the right reform for the senate.
This is the Way.
You say that out loud tho and people think you’re Hitler. There is nothing undemocratic about advocating the abolition of an undemocratic institution.
Considering who is in control of the house, I can’t help but think this is a bad idea.
If there is the will to abolish the Senate, then there will be a will to change how the House is elected and how many members it has.
Unless Republicans get overwhelming power in the house due to gerrymandering and then do it.
Clearly would remove districts from the system. Proportional elections are the only viable way to produce a legislature.
You’re presenting problems to abolishing the Senate that simply won’t exist because it’s a MUCH bigger undertaking than you’re presenting.
Republicans won’t be doing anything in that scenario because the fascists would literally revolt (while bankrolled by the rich) before they allow the Senate to be abolished.
