Fuck off with your founders fetishism and phony civics lesson. There is *NO*
valid reason not have senators popularly elected in each state. Having state
legislatures elect senators is not in any way an essential element of
federalism
or separation of powers.
The founders were not the "wisest generation," and we are not obligated to keep
every nugget of bullshit they crammed into the Constitution. They got much
wrong, starting with slavery, the electoral college (the two are linked), and a
useless impeachment provision.
We don't take civics lessons from an ignorant racist fat fuck who can't even
complete a degree program by age 67, and who is so stupid he posted his ER
discharge papers to Usenet. Fuck off.
