    Well, it was changed for political reasons, now every time the other party gets in power, it’s going to change names.

    It’s stupid as all get out.

      It was changed for political reasons

      Correct. It was changed because some random-ass gold prospector in 1896 wanted to promote McKinley’s presidential campaign. I’m so glad we’re on the same page that changing it for political reasons is wrong and that it should remain what it was prior to the political posturing.

          “Wake up sheeple, being woke is bad.”

          The conservative ideological superposition is so goddamn stupid.
