Harris will win the popular vote, I'm very nearly sure. But I also still doubt that she will be president. It's a much harder lift that most of you realize.

...and yet somehow you'll still come at me with the best country and best constitution nonsense.

The American Delusion is strong. And our Constitution is an anti-democratic POS, here in the year of our lord 2024.

My vote is meaningless in this election but I'm going to do it anyway, since I figure 50/50 it might be the last time I ever get to do it.

@quinn Mine as well, as I'm registered in Florida. I can't understand why it's so difficult to marshal support to change the Constitution to allow the person who gets the most votes wins.

@jkirk because the GOP would never win again, and the Constitution was made deliberately nearly impossible to change if the country was ever divided. The founders were *afraid* of democracy, and tried to make sure it was never too powerful. and they succeeded.

Whom did the Founding Fathers want to give, and retain in perpetuity, an unfair advantage?
