If you want a majoritarian democracy just get rid of the current Congress, POTUS, and SCOTUS and replace it with a parliament. We can even invite the British monarch to become head of state of the Kingdom of America and send over Harry and Meghan to serve as Governor-Generals.

The only good thing I can say about Dingell is that he was almost always on the right side of the Second Amendment, and usually had an A+ rating from the NRA.

Somehow I suspect if the Senate was Democrat and Congress was Republican that he’d be calling for the abolishment of the Senate.

Regardless there’s a certain amount of truth - the Senate, and envisioned, was the House of Lords - beholden to the states. Congress was beholden to the people. Making the senate members elected directly was stupid and made the house redundant.

What Dingell wants is a totalitarian one party Leftist state and I am sure VOX agrees with him.

To partially fix Congress, don't let one family totally own the voter slaves on their (Congressional District) Plantation given to them by TPTB for at least the last 86 years....

To fix Congress, abolish the Democrats.

“John Dingell knows a thing or two about how Congress works”

The headline says otherwise.

Sure. This is how it starts.

Abolish the Senate, then call for a “new Constitution”.

Then they can have the “People’s Republic of America”, with complete one party (Democrat) control.

Once they flood the country with the same mindless stupid people that turned their own countries into Banana Republics, the stage will be set.

Dingle is close. Abolish the 17th amendment and we are on our way to better government.

Anyone else think that calling for the abolition of the Senate just after the Republicans increased their majority in that chamber is a bit suspicious?

Senate can only be fixed by getting back to the State Legislators selecting the US senators.
The whole point was that state senators would represent the make up of the state legislature (i.e. all the precincts in the state having equal representation). It was never intended to be a popular vote where the big cities win/decide for the whole state.

If the Senate were abolished, I imagine several of the states with small populations would leave the union. That was part of the bargain to get agreement on the Constitution.

“So his call to abolish the Senate, announced in an Atlantic excerpt from his new memoir, is pretty notable.”

Or, it could just the garbled gibberish spilling out of his age-addled mind...

Just sayin’...

To protect an independent press, you have to have an independent press, not one that is beholden to one party.

It is good that these totalitarian bolsheviks feel comfortable enough to speak plainly of their hatred for the Constitution, and by extension their hatred of the Declaration, and by extension their hatred of the nation. Alas, I believe their animus towards the founding principles is shared by a majority of the populace. We were perhaps a center-right nation until Bush 41 who began dismantling the Reagan Legacy on Day One (his inaugural address was a direct repudiation of Reagan and a cheer for the swamp), but four decades of relentless success by the cultural marxists and their iron-fisted control over every single societal institution suggests the future will be a challenge for us patriots, and once again the tree of liberty will need to be nourished.
