No one is saying they like it. They're calling you out on this ridiculous liberal "antidemocratic" sentiment.

The part that is anti-democratic is that these are three candidates who just lost the election. How is the golden safety net of the senate remotely democratic? Sure he can appoint who he likes and that's how the system works, but this I still pretty low.
"it's a shame you were defeated in that unnecessary election we had a couple weeks ago...but no worries. I'll just give you a job in the upper house. Sure I'm in favour of senators being elected, and the people just rejected you as their representative, but I got a majority."
I know that's how it works....doesn't mean I like it.
