“This is different than claiming an obviously rigged system is completely fair, as happened in CO and WY.”
If the rules are known and not against accepted law, the system is not “rigged.” Don’t sit in a poker game without knowing how to play and then expect to have whining entertained when you lose.
I'm sure you know as well as I do that rules and laws are not always fair or just. It is not "whining" to point them out when they are not.
If everyone automatically were to accept that something is fair and/or just just because it conforms to rules or the law, then we'd still have slavery... women wouldn't be able to go to college... we'd still be serfs in a feudal system... etc.
I have little idea how to play poker, so yeah, I probably *would* complain if I had to participate in a poker match for some reason.
