'Abolish your mom'! Ian Millhiser takes bipartisan beating for this scorching-hot take on 'free and fair elections'

ThinkProgress’ “justice editor” Ian Millhiser gets paid for his analysis. Like, he makes a living churning out hot takes. Just let that sink in.

And then read this:

There won't be free and fair elections in the United States until the Senate is abolished.

If we didn’t know for a fact that he’s a flaming idiot, we might actually think he was trolling.

Speaking of Ian’s mom, she must be so proud right now.

Ian and Ezra trying to outstupid each other

Ezra Klein’s probably kicking the crap out of himself for not thinking of it first.

That’s a bit extreme, no?

This is an insane take.

Wow! They said the education system was failing but it’s worse than I thought

Oh please, I'm a Dem through and through but this is nuts man, House and Senate have different roles and were part of the great compromise that makes up our system

— Edward Lechner (@elechner1) November 6, 2018

Or, we can repeal the 17th Amendment and go back to the days where each Congressional house represented its designated interests. My sense is that you’d oppose that too because you’ve continued to advocate in favor of centralization of mob rule because “social justice.”
