You only live twice, or three times, or...fuck it--what is death, really?

Like I said, I think it’s mostly fine, it’s all fine. But goddamn it, is it too much to ask for some fucking stakes? Not even in terms of demanding the “art” comment meaningfully on actual human experience in a way that makes you feel things beyond, “man, I really gotta pee.” I just want there to be a little bit of meaningful stakes in the universe these characters inhabit, and allegedly “live and die” in.

Blow up the Electoral College

We should be working toward the democratic principle of equality of representation, not demanding an absolute fealty to a standard of one person, one vote. We can achieve a more equitable, representative system without succumbing to the temptation of the easy (but drastic) fix, the unintended consequences of which could be as dire as they are difficult to foresee. It will come as little surprise, at this point, that I have a solution in mind.
