Memo: The Senate is an Irredeemable Institution [1]

['Sean Mcelwee']

Date: 2024-08

By

Colin McAuliffe, Cofounder, Data for Progress;

Executive Summary:

Over the last several years, progressives have increased their focus on how American political institutions are biased against groups in the Democratic coalition such as people of color, working class people, and young people. Efforts to increase access to the ballot box, reduce gerrymandering, and abolish the electoral college have gained attention, as have efforts to reform the Supreme Court. However, the most antidemocratic institution in America has received relatively little scrutiny: the United States Senate.
