You appear to be conservative, so here is the best online course I could find to teach you about the U.S. Constitution:
America's Written Constitution by Yale University on Coursera:
- Covers themes like popular sovereignty, separation of powers, federalism, and rights.
- Taught by Professor Akhil Reed Amar.
- Includes videos, readings, and quizzes.
Let me know when you've completed it and we can have a real big boy conversation ;)

She also hasn't been elected to anything yet? There's nothing undemocratic about a party choosing who it wants to run in an election internally.
7 2 ReplyPeople are free not to vote for her in the general. It’s looking like this isn’t really an issue though.
Accusing others of hypocrisy is not a winning move for blatant hypocrites.
