The Founders did not allow a popular vote for Senators. Indeed, the Founders were not in favor of much democracy or voter input at all. That doesn't mean I totally agree with them. They were wrong about plenty of things.
Your state legislators are not average voters.
I'm not a huge fan of the "average voter", despite my support for the 17th Amendment. That said, most state legislators have a ways to go to even rise to the level of average voters.

But something has to give, because the people are not being represented in DC anymore at all, and the Federal government is out of control. The necks of politicians and bureaucrats sounds like a good place.

The only way to undo it is with article V.
