    This literally wasn’t a problem until a certain group of people put a certain demented old pedophile and his cronies into power. Suicidal anti-social right wingers and rich capitalists are killing all of us.

        There’s definitely something to be said for not doing it randomly and having a sound selection process, but the protections against that process getting corrupted need to be more robust.
