re: #228 Hecuba’s daughter

Unfortunately, thanks to our fatally flawed Constitution with its EC, its Senate that provides equal representation to Wyoming and California, and voting suppression in purplish states run by the GOP, a party does not need a majority to have absolute control of the nation and dictate rules to everyone. Even without voting suppression, a candidate could lose the presidency while winning 70% of the vote (not likely to happen but technically possible). Rule of law means nothing with a Calvinball SCOTUS that can eviscerate any legislation that helps the majority.

Indeed. Over the last 30 the years the GOP have won the popular vote once in a presidential election and yet the scotus is completely filled with radical RW extremists for a generation now.
