    Again, replace the senate with proportional representation. Bicameral legislatures work, there’s no reason to be rid of the senate. Just give it a purpose beyond “you represent a state”. Expand the senate to 600 seats, National votes for party reps, 0.5% threshold to gain a seat, 6 year terms, rotate every two years. Then we’ll get actual third parties into office, which will break up the two party strangle hold.
