      That is what is referred to as a false dilemma fallacy. You can have states and state legislatures without the senate.

        First time I’m hearing about that fallacy, but it seems to imply deceptive intent which I have none. You can also have machine screws in your peanut butter sandwich but it doesn’t mean it makes sense.

          imply deceptive intent

          Nope, it’s simply an instance of an argument which erroneously limits what options are available.
