    In retrospect they really should have set it up first and let it run for a bit before they tried to put it in the constitution.

      Yeah, but they didn’t have time for that in this election cycle. Fuck I hate it when progressives play the conservative handbook, follow fuck ups become fuck ups.

      Went for a slam dunk but didn’t tie their laces.
