36. That's not an answer. You made a charge, I think you should back it up.
You said, and I quote: "You really don't understand the structure of the US government at all, do you?"

Okay. So tell me what I don't understand. About the "structure of the US government".

Are you saying that California- which has 34 Million people, around 1/10th of the US Population - does NOT control 1/50th of the United States Senate? 2 Senators, from California, remember. Out of 100 total. 2/100=1/50. And Wyoming, which has approximately 400,000 people, at least last time I checked? 2 Senators. Out of 100 total. 2/100=1/50.

So, again, I ask you: WHAT THE FUCK DON'T I "UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF THE US GOVERNMENT"???


Seriously. You made the statement, now back it up. I think that's fair. You want to tell me off, tell me I'm clueless, I don't know what I'm talking about, fine. So back it up.

I run into this all the time; people toss out these off-the-cuff bullshit charges like "you know nothing about what you're talking about, do you, har har" And then, when challenged to provide factual evidence about whatever the fuck they're saying, they run away or evade or get cute.

Don't do that. Back up your statement. Tell me where my facts are wrong.

Tell me what I don't understand about the structure of the US government.
