Let's correct this false statement..."You're well-programmed."
I am well educated and history has proven the efficacy of our Constitution.
The Bill of Rights protects all Americans. We are a free nation, as free as humanly possible, and we have defended freedom around the world with treasure and blood.
The Constitution has protected Americans from the overreach by the far left Democrat Socialists on multiple occasions.
The Constitution has an inspiring preamble and some amendments that attempt with varying degrees of success to protect some essentials freedoms.
First and foremost, however, it's a "constitution" which is charged with defining that of which our government is constituted.
The government it created is the least efficient government EVER created.
We are an early effort at a democratic republic, and said efforts have been vastly surpassed by more modern governments.
The fact that rural state regressives have political representation and power far in excess of what their numbers warrant in terms of population percentage
is why America is the dumpster fire, rapidly approaching dystopia status, that it is now.
Wait until Trump runs as an independent, nobody gets 270 electoral votes, and the House chooses the next president.
They'll probably choose the republican candidate who finished third in the general election.
See how good your antiquated constitution looks then.
The Electoral College is the process we use to elect the U.S. president. Established in the U.S. Constitution, its purpose is to spread the power to elect the president across all 50 states. It was designed to ensure that the more populous states didn't overpower the smaller states when choosing the nation's leader.
"The fact that rural state regressives..."
This defines you as a bigot.
"We are an early effort at a democratic republic..."
We are a Constitutional Federal Republic...per the CIA World Fact-book.
The fact is that our rural states are mostly regressive. Not New Hampshire or Vermont... but the rest of them are.

There is nothing more demented than telling people that a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman is not pure perversion.
Without outside intervention, it would be the end of civilization.
We will either partition into multiple nations with more compatible values within them, or we will create a deeper "fourth world' level of misery as we continue our journey down history's toilet drain.
America in its current configuration is a socially regressive disaster put to shame by the modern democracies of the world.
The fact is that our rural states are mostly regressive. Not New Hampshire or Vermont... but the rest of them are.
You think it is demented but you are not how the rest of this free country thinks. Millions of people in the world agree with you, maybe you should move to a country that agrees with you.

Instead of whining, move to one of those modern democracies.
They have immigration laws, genius. I'm sure you've heard of them.
My job is to help change where I am now.
The "love it or leave argument" is for people less articulate than you. You diminish yourself using it.
New Hampshire, despite it's all blue congressional delegation, is still the least progressive New England state.
Governor Sununu is pretty much a neanderthal. Maggie Hassan ran as if she were ashamed to be a Democrat and only won because she was running against that idiot general that nobody but trumpanzees liked.
We have immigration laws too that are not being enforced.
I don't care if you love America but from your posts, yo bhate it. So... leave.
Still very liberal compared to the rural South.
That third party candidate will have to win some states to gain any electoral votes and that is highly unlikely. If Trump were capable of splitting the conservative vote in any state and defeating the other conservative, the democrat would almost certainly defeat both of them and take all the electoral votes.
Still very liberal compared to the rural South.
I hope that's true, but only Trump and the Republican nominee will be viable in many red states, and those could be real contests.
The fact that 270 is no sure thing means the House can put in potentially, or at least theoretically, whosoever the hell they want.
What I'm not sure about is whether it's the newly elected House or the lame duck House that makes the decision.
I'm sure that I knew that once, but I can't remember.
Without the rural South...and the rest of rural America, you would starve in a few days.
