You’re a pretty good troll. Fake poets!

My response is that would never happen but not for the reasons you state. A North Dakota resident wouldn’t move to California just to be pandered to in a national election. They’re not pandered to by either party now because of how few electoral votes they can deliver. But more to the point, a N Dakota resident lives…
A Wyoming voter’s vote for president is worth 118% of my vote based on population, and even higher based on number of eligible voters. Why is that fair?
PS It’s called State/local government, that’s how they get their fucking say in the government - like every other state/city in the country.
Why should their votes count more? This isn’t the 3/5's compromise.
Thats what the senate is for.
Wow. That sounded like so much nonsense I don’t even know where to begin...
DC resident here.
Please explain how a single voter in N Dakota would gain greater representation by casting his vote on the coast in a popular vote system. It would be, by definition, the adding of all votes into a single bloc regardless of where they are cast.
The idea that only protests which can be participated in and ideologically/practically comfortable to every single person who might consider participating is not reasonable. There are people who can’t/won’t participate, there are women who wanted to take part in the women’s march who could not for a myriad of reasons…
The research I have done shows “general strikes” like this often respect those who cannot afford to strike due to financial needs or fear of retaliation from employer. Its just a reality that many people cannot participate in strikes like this. But to be honest, many of those women also could not afford to…
Sacrifice is not giving what you can afford, it’s giving what you can’t afford to lose. - Kahlil Gibran
Lot of people don’t really seem to get that. Read up on the biggest strikes in this country’s history. Those people surely weren’t “privileged” enough to lose wages or their jobs but the risk was worth it.
Yea, I have tons of respect for those Yemeni bodega owners; you know they work on really narrow profit margins, and closing down for 8 hours was a big sacrifice for a lot of them.
I don’t know about anyone else, but ever since Trump was officially inaugurated, I just have this simmering feeling of both anger and fear in the background of my mind.
I am really hoping Gaga does get political in the show — why the fuck not?! I really doubt there are large ranks of Trump-supporting Little Monsters, when I think of everything she champions. Does anyone know? Who is she afraid of alienating?
The grossest thing is every time he appeared in RHOBH, you just knew he thought he was the coolest dude. Yolanda’s glass refrigerator had more charm.
She kept saying “he didn’t sign up for this”
It’s pretty telling on the reunion that Andy asked Yolanda flat out “would you still be together if you hadn’t gotten sick” and she said yes. I don’t believe marriage is the end-all, be-all of life and that shitty marriages should stick it out if it’s irreparable, but this seemed like a really low bar for leaving…
