“YES. One person, one vote. The electoral college is useless and immoral and always has been. Why should my vote count more if I live in Montana or less if I’m in New York? If “all men are created equal,” as the Declaration of Independence states, then all men’s votes should be equal.
Abolish the el…”

“What’s the worse that can happen? Sure, the treatment may not work or even backfire, causing the patient to die…but if they’re terminally ill and no other treatments have worked, then they’re going to die anyway. And if it does work, then they have a chance at life! So if taking the unapproved treat…”

“I’m a Christian, but this sounds stupid. What does this “resolution” actually *DO*? Just say, “Hey, Christians, y’all are cool. Keep celebrating your holiday and stuff!”? We Christians have already been doing that ever since this country was founded. Nobody is stopping us from celebrating Christmas,…”

“Stop policing the world. If North Koreans want democracy and human rights, they can get it themselves. It’s not, and never has been, our job to “spread democracy.” This always ends in failure. Look at what happened with Iraq. We have enough problems of our own here in the States. Let’s focus our eff…”

“If you want to eliminate a subsidy, do the reverse. Eliminate the subsidy on land lines and keep the one for cell phones. If you want to save on government spending, you need to provide better access to jobs for those in poverty so that they no longer need to live on welfare. The poor, especially th…”

“This doesn't sound like "single payer" to me. It sounds more like "all payer." Who is this single payer who's going to pay for this? Also, this wouldn't help me much if only generic drugs are covered. The only reason I even have health insurance is because I have a condition that requires a very spe…”

“While this isn't the perfect ideal (i.e., legalizing it completely), it's definitely a step in the right direction. It makes no sense for something to be legal statewide but illegal federally. If you can use marijuana in your state legally, then you shouldn't have to worry about getting in trouble w…”

“We need to get and stay out of Afghanistan ASAP, along with every other country that we're currently occupying. There are no countries that are currently a direct threat to us, so there is no reason we should be in any other countries. This may sound harsh, but if we leave Afghanistan in shambles wi…”

“For the last time, RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE NOT A THREAT TO US. There is literally no reason to expand our military. We already have the strongest military in the world, which is why country in their right mind would attack us at this point unless we attacked them first. No, we don't need a space corps.…”

“It's bad for you and could kill you, so LET'S BAN ITAND THROW ANYONE WHO USES IT IN PRISON! This is the logic we've been using for almost a century, and it's clearly not working. If we're going to ban every dangerous substance, we may as well ban tobacco, alcohol, and even caffeine while we're at it…”

“Our current voting system unfairly favors the Republican and Democratic parties. This flies in the face of what our original founding fathers wanted—a fair and unbiased government for ALL the people, not just the Republicrats. Political parties should be abolished outright, but this is definitely a …”

“The "War on Terror" is not a real, legitimate war. We cannot build a memorial for something that doesn't exist. A war is an official conflict between two or more nations in which one nation wins and the other(s) surrender, or a treaty is formed. The "War on Terror" does not meet these qualifications…”

“This would be awesome. I have a crazy work schedule. I go in at 1:30, so I'll have to get up super early tomorrow and hope the lines aren't so long that I end up late to work. If that weren't possible for me, then yes, I would vote early and/or get an absentee ballot. However, if everyone were off w…”
