    The fact that women didn’t get the right to vote until 1920 tells you all you need to know about the founding fathers and the US constitution. It was a piece of crap when written, and is a piece of crap today. Its the reason they push the whole “the constitution is immutable” BS.

      The founding fathers never intended the constitution to be so sacrosanct in the first place. That it should change with the needs of the nation.

      Yep. Also how it used to count both indigenous and enslaved people as fractions of a full human. It’s an incredible feat of propaganda that anyone can mistake it for being something different than what it explicitly says it is.
