    Enjoy having your bodily autonomy stripped away and turned into a baby making factory because you don’t understand the concept of harm reduction.

      The fact that this is even on the table is why I’m upset. A sane government would not let that sort of thing happen. But we have a majority of the Supreme Court nominated by two presidents who lost the popular vote because a bunch of slave owners over 200 years ago were butthurt at the idea that the popular vote for president wouldn’t go their way.

        The Electoral College was also established to aid in guiding uninformed voters. It was logical to implement it for presidential elections, since most people wouldn’t have heard about the policy or platform of either candidate.

        We have the Internet now, so that point is moot.

          Exactly. Our government is like we took an 18th century sailing ship, bolted on a steam engine, piled it full of people, and then strapped on some wings so it could fly to the moon.

          The structure of our government is so anachronistic I don’t know why people are upset it’s working so horribly.

            The most important thing left out of the Constitution were the instructions on how often to update it.
