      You are currently debating whether hospitals can let women die instead of performing abortions

          If your politicians don’t represent the people, what the heck are they doing?

          Or, why do your people still vote for them?

              Then do something about it.

              But your other party won’t change it either, because they use the same loopholes.

            Our democratic process is heavily flawed. The electoral college distorts the relative power votes so that less populated states have more power.

            Also, less than half of eligible adults vote, and those that do are disproportionately conservative boomers.

            Only about 20% of the population voted for trump. Everyone else either didn’t care, didn’t think he could win, or didn’t want him to win.

              The problem is that the non-Trumpers care to little to go to the voting booths.

        You’re hastily summarizing some stupid political hit piece as the totality of what everyone in the country thinks. That’s incredibly lazy thinking. What country are you from where everyone thinks the same exact way and the news accurately reports it?

      Evil and malicious? Of course not. Mislead by a tailor-made Christian cult that always supports whatever the cult leader thinks is important? Literally nothing more American than that. We have a state that was founded for that propose. The largest, consistent voting block in America is fueled by exactly this.

      Of course we’re not but “the supreme court bans something good because it’s not explicitly allowed in a 200 year old document” is a goddamn accurate statement lol
