The original idea of the first past the post setup was that the second past the post was the vice president.

We’ve undone that.

The House are the people’s representatives, the Senate was supposed to be the States’ representatives, and since each state is supposed to be equal, all states have two senators. It was supposed to be a check on the mob rule of the House.

We’ve also undone that.

It’s no wonder we are in the state we are in now. We’ve undone ourselves completely.
