Yes. I know exactly what he means. Like three years of hearing that the poor handling of Hillary's campaign was really just Putin hackin' muh elections.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
That's why Trump is President -- the Founding Fathers weren't that good at drafting a Constitution.

Sounds like poor sportsmanship and a giant misunderstanding about how our country has worked for going on almost 250 years now.
Also sounds like that's your problem.

Hi. Just checking in. 5 more years of Trump, LOL. We barely survived 3. Another term and we go full-on Nazi. Pretty close as it is now. I'll check back in a few if Trump loses. If not we're all dead or dying in which case I won't.
Nope. Can't say I miss Chrisisall.

Quote:My favorite example of how America does NOT work well is the 13th Amendment (ends slavery). A million people had to die to get it passed. Is a million dead anybody's idea of working well? Especially since other countries ended slavery without Civil Wars?

One more example of NOT working well: the 14th Amendment was intended to only make former slaves into new US citizens, but what it really did was to also make the children of illegal aliens US citizens. Republicans have been complaining for two centuries that Mexicans sneak into the US to give birth.

6ix, if you actually knew any true history, or even if you paid attention to what bonehead Trump is doing about Covid-19 compared to what S Korea or Taiwan are doing, you won't dare claim the US works well.

When did I say anything about it working well? Not just in my last reply, but in the entire post history I've had here.
I'd REALLY love to see evidence of that.
No...
I was simply making commentary on how much you bitch and whine when established rules don't work your way, but when you do have a chance to do something about it you don't.
I guess now is the time where I ask you for the 100th time where was Obama on the Electoral College the first two years of his presidency?
The answer to that question, of course, is he did not bring it up one single time during his presidency. Not once.
And we listened to you bitch and whine about it when Trump won in 2016. And we're going to here you bitch and whine about it when Trump wins again in November.
And then in 2024, assuming that Democrats don't really screw the pooch and somehow make it the first time that a single party had more than 8 years in my lifetime, Democrats will have control again and nobody is going to bring it up.
Because Democrats are fucking weirdos and crybabies that don't actually get anything done and wouldn't even recognize themselves in the mirror if they woke up one day and didn't have anything to bitch and whine about.

Well, Nunavut has recorded its first case of Covid-19 today. Not good.
Also today BC reached 100 days since the province was first notified of the virus.
