arkady2025-02-27Politics

I am getting seriously sick of elections in the U.S. being decided by: This is dumb, wrong and an affront to the idea of “democracy”. I have done this rant before, so I’ll try to keep it short this time.…

Unfixable: The U.S. Constitution Is Irreparably Broken

arkady2025-02-25Law Politics
