Nah we should wait a bit longer. Don’t want to be too rash

You realize the average video gamer is like 40 right?

Good. Contribute to the society that allows you to be successful or gtfo. There’s bound to be growing pains associated with that but I don’t think that would be worse than what is happening now.

One could argue that situation would occur if we were smart enough to repeatedly elect those kinds people

They are implying that when faced with the choice of paying €30 for a couple of pints or smoking free weed that many will choose the latter which will impact alcohol sales in bars to a significant degree.

I don’t think that’s their fault. They specifically addressed a two party system in multiple writings (they didn’t like it) in addition to explicitly stating that they expected future generations to update the constitution as necessary to protect the republic from those who would seek to undermine or replace it. We didn’t heed their warnings and now here we are.

To be clear, I don’t think the framers were infallible or able to see all possibile challenges that our nation would face. However, they seem to have been pretty damn good at learning from history and that’s something modern Americans are absolutely abysmal at. For all their faults they have a lot to teach us in that respect.

That’s exactly what it sounded like you were saying to me

No name racists on the internet vs former (and potential future) POTUS… Yeah you’re right, it’s tough to tell who is more responsible for spreading this particular bit of misinformation.

If I’ve learned anything from the Trump years it’s that it does not matter what is obvious, it only matters what the courts will act on. Once those votes are tallied and the final results are submitted the outcome isn’t changing, especially if the manipulation benefits conservatives. And let’s be real, that’s the only scenario in which this has a realistic chance of happening.

The electoral college is ass but getting rid of it would actually make the specific problem you’re describing worse. If the election were decided by popular vote then the margins change but so do the attack vectors. Now instead of being forced to successfully change votes in multiple locations in multiple swing states you can potentially alter the outcome by changing the tallies in one highly populated county. Doing something like that once is a lot easier than doing it 8 times simultaneously.

I still think getting rid of the EC is a good idea but we should make sure we fully understand what that means.

I don’t think I would agree that society is not at fault. When you tell an entire generation of men that their worth is in the economic value they create and then refuse to pay them more than a pittance it is easy to see why they might be upset by that. That’s only one aspect of the problem but it’s absolutely societal in nature.

My boss doesn’t care if I log in at 11 and log out at 3 with a 2 hour lunch in the middle, but to be fair, my boss is me and I’m pretty chill.

In my experience weed can be a gateway drug when you have to buy it from a drug dealer. As an analogy, lots of people end up buying something other than what they went into Target to buy.

Resign from what, life? I’m on board that’s just an odd phrasing

No one can take that from Trump. Elon is second in that category at most.

I’ve been wondering the same thing for a long time now. People seem so excited to see Harris “beat” Trump in a debate but it’s obvious that will never happen in any meaningful sense. Trump’s supporters are clearly not using any traditional (or rational) metric to evaluate his public speaking and people who don’t support Trump will only find things to nitpick Harris on. I don’t see the upside for Harris unless she knocks it out of the park and that’s such a stupid situation to be in considering the obvious disparity in the quality of these two candidates.

Clearly against the spirit of the law but not the letter. I like your style.
