The more I learn about the concessions made to the southern slave owners I wish the founders hadn't tried so hard to include them in the union. The north and the south were so different it seems like it would be as doomed to failure as jamming all the Balkan states into a single country.

Every time Texas threatens to secede and doesn't I wish we had the choice to vote them out so they could see just how badly they are not the hot shit they think they are.

The problem with a simple majority is it allows large states to completely dominate less populated states.

We are a republic, kind of like how the UK is a union of (at least) four countries each with its own government. We are 50 states each with its own government and the constitutional right to make it's own laws about matters not specifically delegated to the federal government (see the abortion rights debate).

The founding fathers established the electoral college as a compromise between electing the president in a vote by Congress and a popular vote. I would take an amendment to the constitution to get rid of it.
