I may be misremembering, but I believe the way things were originally designed was that the Senate was supposed to represent the states, not the people. The house represented the people. That's why the Senate has equal representation (because the states were meant to have equal say), and the house proportionate to population.

From a practical standpoint, I don't see any difference between Huckabee's position and Biden/Harris's position. Biden and Harris may not be stating this explicitly, but their actions imply a similar view.
How many stern letters will Biden send to Yahoo before actually taking some action against Israel's crimes? How far will they move the goalposts to avoid pulling support for Israel?

Lol, yeah, you're right. My bad for assuming we would have to make the decision with information that a person would likely have in that scenario, like one has to do in real life... I think you're still wrong, both in the example you attempted and the point you're trying to make.
Democrats will need to work on offering people something more than murky water that might kill you if they want to get people to come out and vote for them. And why would I risk a deadly bacterial infection when I have piss available that I am reasonably certain is sterile? I'm honestly not sure why you think that's not a good course of action, though I'll admit I'm not a scientist and would be interested to hear a scientist/doctor's take on this survival scenario.

A murky pond of still water might not be a good choice no matter how thirsty you are. The bacteria in it could kill you. If you're thirsty and lost at sea, I hope you won't drink the salt water. That's the issue with the insistance that people should vote for Harris "to stop trump". It's short sighted and does nothing to address the long-term problem of, election after election, being presented two shitty options and told it's critical that you eat shit instead of voting for the person that will actually fight for your values. Sorry the Democrats keep refusing to learn this lesson, but they are just as much to blame for Trump's victory as the people who voted for him.

Out of your options above, the camel might actually be the safest option. You'll at least get some hydration out of it if you don't cook it to shit.

This is amazing! Why haven't I heard of this and why isn't it a bigger deal. The world needs this more than ever!

Thank you for this!

You know, we really should have a world wide Fap For Peace day. Like those "Pray for [insert thing]" days you sometimes hear about people doing.
