Then you understand why the 17th Amendment was a bad idea.


Nope. Not at all. You have provided no logical argument other than, like I said, what you claim "the founders intended". Case Law throughout the 19th century defies what you claim... in a time before you can claim, "political justices".

Why do you think it was a bad idea? Why do you think repealing it would be the right decision now?

Direct election of senators goes against every other election method in the country.

I mean we don't even vote on the president. We vote for electors. Look at the electoral college from the 2016 election.
