EXACTLY!!! I have been saying this for years. It is simply amazing how many folks on both sides of the aisle are ignorant of this very basic fact.
I have, and always will believe, that this simple false assumption that we are a democracy is the root of the entire problem.
You can start to fix it by repealing the 17th amendment.
