Sure, there was nothing sarcastic in that or your other posts to me. Now to the topic.

The one person, one vote and all votes weigh the same standard IS THE LAW for all states and municipalities. This principle is NOT extreme. That you think it is, is a reflection on you. And if you disagree and feel it's common in the advanced industrial democracies...please SHOW US where other nations allow for elections to be STOLEN from someone who won an election... or that allows for 18% of a nation's population to get a majority in one chamber that has a veto over the other... or where amendments can be ratified by states with 40% of the nation's population.

Put up or smell the roses. It's the US with the extreme system.

And yes, I KNOW why we have the system we have. My point is so what. You and others seem to believe if someone merely disagrees with 1787 rationale for our system... even if many desirable principles were compromised away, they can't really understand it so they must be dismissed. That view is both intellectually insulting and obnoxious. I'm merely trying to reconnect with democratic principles... and you're trying to say that's unacceptable... the Constitution replaced those principles... even the principles in the Declaration of Independence.

Sorry... this ain't religion and if the Bush and Trump Juntas can't wake you out of your coma... nothing will.
