Pure democracy is an unmitigated disaester. Anyone advocating for it is either young and too naive, or an uneducated fool.

Except that's not advocating for pure democracy. It's advocating for changing how the legislature in our republic is set up.

Oh okay. Why did we change to elected senators? I'm all ears.

By eliminating the one facet of our legislature that prevents a complete devolution into pure democracy, sure. Do you not see how and why the system is structured the way it is? It is done this way to TEMPER the will of the majority, not mirror it. By design. Broad consensus is the benchmark for policy in this country, not 50% plus 1.
To advocate for changing that is to argue for a complete overhaul of what makes the US what it is.
You very clearly do not understand the concept of federalism, or dual sovereignty. You need to have a talk with a guy named Publius.

It’s certainly one of the most short sighted.

Oh, so to you it's the first step down a slippery slope towards pure democracy? You're jumping all over the place here. I do see why it's the way it is. I even referenced it in one of my first posts...
The 17th amendment was also a big change. Are you against that since it overhauled the original design? Or maybe this is an appeal to tradition (that you only selectively choose to use)?

Converting the Senate to the same model as the House, and thereby making both houses proportional to the states populations... would be about as close to pure democracy as a country our size could get. Hence my use of the term. But I do understand that it’s not “pure democracy”

Absolutely against. Horribly short sighted and has completed ruined the Senate’s purpose. as well as greatly diminished the role of the state legislatures. The latter point leads to huge levels of voter apathy at the state house level, which in turn begets terrible candidates, and terrible policy, etc.
It was well intentioned but not well thought out

Where have I been selective? I’m about as originality as you’ll find on the Constitution, outside of some of the obviously needed update that have come via amendment . Have I indicated otherwise?

That's fair. If the compromise to form the union can legally be eliminated, than so can the union. Secession by the underrepresented would be the logical next step when equal representation is undermined, wouldn't it?

Equal Representation, or as Democrats really mean, New York and California dictating the entire country.
