Exactly. I won't even say it's a good system, but it's a straw man he's attacking. Also, maybe i'm over sensitive but i feel like he's insinuating the constitution is wrong because it's inherently racist and elitist. Maybe i'm straw manning but sadly that choice of words often goes hand in hand with such ideas and reckless, poorly thought out solutions.
- tosapple 9mo agoIf it was elitist we wouldn't have the right to assemble or bear arms. Some of us can do both, at once!
- johnnyanmac 9mo ago>i feel like he's insinuating the constitution is wrong because it's inherently racist and elitist. The constitution suggests that "all men are created equal". it sadly needed several revisions to define what "man" is, though. And then some 150 years before we expanded "man" to represent "humanity" instead of "male". The constitution isn't racist/sexist by the wording of its law, but the interpretations arguably were. And maybe are. Nothing either good nor bad but thinking makes it so. We had to spend a long, long time thinking and re-thinking this over. Sadly the trend as of late is to stop thinking altogether. I hope that changes.
