I don’t agree with merging the House and Senate

I've read this several times and I understand it. What I've also read several times is "this will never happen" which I understand as well.

The funniest thing is that with congress the way it currently is, none of this has the slightest chance of actually happening. Thus I keep "Merge the senate into the house" because it's the only way any of this would change. Previously I had "Abolish the senate" which I thought would be unfair to all the current senators. 2 senators per state and the filibuster are why nothing is changing.
