Hi, I'm a patreon subscriber but it isn't showing me
In the Patreon list - Any idea why?
Do you guys think the 17th Amendment should be repealed?
Eh, not really...
What do you suggest to replace it??
I'm at a hard no, but I'm willing to hear the argument
My thought is that the states should decide how representatives are chosen. I think having state legislators pick a representative would encourage people to pay more attention to and maybe participate in their state elections.
You don't think that'd lead to cronyism?
It could. But states governments work like the federal, right? So couldn't the houses hold a vote or something, so that it's not one person picking?
The problem is that you'd have to hold states to account.
@CrystalWhiteMustang is absolutely right, if New York State decided to just appoint, there's no federal statute to prevent that
as pointed out, that would be cronyism
the 17th streamlines the process and protects more authoritarian states like New York and California from just picking who they want and to hell with the will of the people
it also makes freshman politicians viable. While I don't agree with her policies, and I know she represents a different chamber, let's use Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as an example
AOC just primaried a sure thing representative. In New York. Which is almost unheard of. Think about some upstart in the same boat that would make an attempt to do the same to an open senate seat
While I don't think that superceding Article 1, or 10A is a good idea....both of which the 17th is technically in violation of, I do see the merit, especially considering that it's a federal seat
