The legislatures of New York and California are not going to pick better senators.

True. I don’t understand these 17th amendment debates.

Liberal states such as California elect liberal idiots as Senators. But the liberal state legislatures of liberal states such as California would appoint liberal idiots to be Senators, if the 17th amendment didn’t exist. So what’s the difference? What am I missing?

Term limits is the way. No Senator should serve more than 2 terms. No House Member more than 4.
