16. You're speaking very much for yourself there. Not for me, or for many others I know.

The cynical, hold-power-at-all-costs political hyperpartisanship that is ripping America apart is heavily concentrated on the Right. It exists on the Left, too, but is not universal on our side like you describe it to be. You paint Democrats with far too broad a brush.

In short, don't tell me what I would think about this chamber of Congress if membership in it was unfairly stacked against Republicans, a weapon for us screwing them over instead of the reverse.

I have people try to tell me the same thing about the Electoral College, if it were to be over-ruling the public will in the opposite direction. But those peoople are all Republicans, they're fine with insulting people this way, by projecting their own behavior onto others. And they're wrong.

Unfair political institutions are poisonous things that ultimately undermine the system at large and hurt everybody, including their ostensible beneficiaries.
