    “Did you vote to take away my rights?”

    sing-songy voice “I’m not telling!”

    You think that’d be an improvement?

      The US house of representatives has 435 members. If you think half of those representatives would anonymously vote to take away your rights, you already have zero faith in humanity. Why do you think knowing how they voted would then change anything at the national population level?

      The real problem is, we don’t focus on critical thinking enough in our school system.

      And if you still have a problem with it, there are two houses in our congress. Keep your “accountability” in the senate, where it’s easier to monitor.
