The Senate's problem is not disagreement. It's elections.

Ezra Klein - The Senate's problem is not disagreement. It's elections. .
It's good to have a competitive electoral system! But if we're going to give the minority party a reason to want the majority party to fail at governing the country, we can't also give them the power to make the majority party fail at governing the country. We need a legislative system that works alongside our political system, not one that pretends we have a different, more harmonious political system than we really do.
