The olympics.
I still hadn’t cared for the olympics in quite a while, and I find that its last spark of relevance has faded back in the 90s/early 2000s. It has become politicized and commercialized, where there’s little to no sense in getting that interested in them. It’s also about just circlejerking for whichever country won the most medals, which ultimately doesn’t matter compare to if we can respect a country that doesn’t contribute to anymore shit that others do overall.
Also it’s no surprise some of or most of the people attending are probably doped up too, so who cares about authenticity?
Electoral college in the US, also the Reapportionment Act of 1929.
Regarding the Electoral College, the only thing I have an issue with it is that most states chose winner take all and the Senate is counted for votes. If the electoral college votes were given out as a percentage to each state’s popular vote, it would make the system work a lot cleaner.
It doesn’t work at all if electors are barred from being “faithless” by law.
They aren’t barred by federal law
fourteen states void the votes of faithless elector and replace the elector
a larger number bar faithless electors but don’t have any enforcement mechanismor one only have one that affects the elector (but not the vote), making faithless electors illegal if not impossible in a majority of states
aand I’ll just point out right now that faithless elector laws don’t do anything to preserve the power of the state that passed them, only to preserve the power of the two dominant political parties
