The Senate was broken with the 17th amendment. As described originally, senators were meant to represent their state government and take a longer view than the House. The House was meant to represent the people and their whims.
It's disgusting. It should either be neutered like the House of Lords, or keep its position but have its members directly elected. Top 100 candidates get in.
The citizens of overly influential states with tiny populations would easily be placated by the possibility of electing at least one or two actual neo-nazis to the Senate; you could definitely pass it. We would have to accept that both Kim and Kanye would probably be Senators.
