Nah… It’s Chicago. Even in 1990, I’d expect to pay a little more to get pizza delivered. Kevin’s cheese pizza, just for him, was $11.80. The family ordered ten pizzas and paid $12.25 each before tip. That sounds about right for Chicago back then.

Yes they really said that, and it gets worse… 🤦‍♂️ Here’s the video he’s referencing.

Letting public schools off the hook for their failures is a shitty way to get anyone on your side.

Valuing her relationship more than attention from strangers? Good for her.

This dude’s gonna die within a month, god-forbid something like this ever does happen. There are a ton of real-world examples of what happens to the naive when the rule of law breaks down. Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Haiti, Rhodesia, Congo, Somalia, Soviet Union, etc. Trust no one.

Okay? Lol I’m getting tired, so here’s my last point. America’s constitutional system was built to guard against the tyranny of the majority. We don’t elect presidents by a popular vote, we divide federal power so a majority can’t simply do whatever it wants, and our rights aren’t up for a vote just because enough people want to take them away. America is a constitutional republic. We elect representatives to govern within constitutional limits, presidents are chosen through the Electoral College, and the majority cannot simply vote away protected rights. The system places limits on majority rule to safeguard individual liberty. At least it was supposed to. Goodnight.

Wait until you learn about “faithless electors.”

We don’t elect them to make our choices. Lol

Yes. You’re still wrong.

Awe, you can’t read. This is fun.

Electors are generally pledged to support the candidate who won their state, or congressional district in Maine and Nebraska, but the Constitution itself does not require them to. Yeah, it can, and has been, a shit show sometimes.

The president is not elected by the nationwide popular vote. Here’s how it actually works. Party delegates choose the nominees. Primaries and caucuses determine how delegates are awarded under each party’s rules. Those delegates vote to nominate their party’s presidential candidate. They are separate from the Electoral College. November voters choose presidential electors. The ballot lists presidential candidates, because people are stupid, but legally you’re choosing the electors pledged to your preferred ticket. There are 538 electoral votes. Each state gets as many electors as it has U.S. representatives and senators. The electors cast the actual presidential votes in December. A candidate ordinarily needs 270, a majority of 538, to win. Congress counts those votes in January. Winning the most votes nationwide and winning the presidency are two different things under our system. You’re welcome.

I’m begging you to please to 60 seconds of research about how America’s President is elected. Lol

Oh, honey… you literally just tried to claim our President is elected “democratically.” Please sit this one out.

You should look up how the President is elected. Lol Hint; it’s not “democratically.” 🤣 Senators were not originally elected by popular vote (hence my original post). The House is the ONLY part of government voted by “popular” vote, and even then, it’s local, not national.

Can you name one thing that’s decided by popular vote on the federal level?

There’s a reason we’re not a democracy.

How about no.
