  • Maybe it’s just where I was raised, but I don’t see this at all in my day to day life in the US. Things have come a very long way.

    I’m sure there are still things that are shitty that I probably wouldn’t notice as I’m not in that position… But in general, most people here don’t seem to give a shit these days.

    To be clear, I’m not referring to classism. That still exists to a degree, though it’s mostly been supplanted by racism.





  • I think having a bicameral house is a very good thing.

    And I know it gets a lot of hate in these parts, but the Senate was never meant to be proportionate. We are a federation of states, it makes sense to have one house be “the people’s house” with proportionate representation, and a second house that is divided by state. It’s kind of the entire point of having a union of states.

    Bring on the hate, but I don’t think the Senate is the problem. The corruption in the Senate is a symptom of the problem, but there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it as a concept.
