    I do think it’s funny that this country’s democracy boils down to “we’re electing the person who may or may not select the true arbiters of justice who are themselves unaccountable and serve for life.” Popular will is so far removed from the equation and yet that’s not the problem.

      “we’re electing the person who may or may not select the true arbiters of justice who are themselves unaccountable and serve for life.”

      also remember that only like 8 of the 50 states even matter in that election, and in those states it only boils down to a few million of the absolute dumbest fucking fence sitters on the planet
