The problem was it was a lot more than an "advisory body"
Advisory bodies can be tacked onto anything without legislation, to change the constitution to insert an "advisory body" was colossal overkill which really suggested it wasn't an advisory body at all.
Try this:
"Lets change the American constitution so congress must consult with a native american advisory body on all matters."
What would that mean in practice? Any idea? This is what we asked to vote for with no detail beyond that.
"Trust us, we'll tell you the detail later, it'll be fine, if you don't you're a racist"
60% said No.
it can be as much as "let aboroginals run the shop" to "here's one guy thats gonna talk to the PM, house of reps, and senate for 3 minutes every 10 years".

India is trending towards the same type of ethnic nationalism that Russia and China are stuck in. They seem to have a weird fixation on what "their people" do overseas. Smoking the Sikh guy in Canada was not cool. You are only supposed to kill your citizens with drones strikes.
The Nazis in Ukraine are genuine national heroes too. I am worried that once they recover all of their land they will be a place that exports Nazi terrorism like Afghanistan did with Islamist.

I meant to say progressive, and edited it as sich. I'm on my phone now doing a fantastic poo. But basically that there should be a social safety net to stop homelessness, poverty, being food insecure etc. Tertiary education should be affordable for anyone, there should be quality affordable housing, unions are important. Everyone should have access to quality free or affordable healthcare. Money should be allocated to try and help kids get out of generational poverty by improving their school attendance and education, and have guidance into trades and professions if they don't know how or what's available. I also don't think anyone deserves, or should be a billionaire. I recently watched a video that asked you to see how long a million dollars could pay your rent vs a billion. If a million paid it for 50, a billion would pay it for 50,000. It's a staggering amount of money that no single person can earn ethically. There should be no one working for companies like Amazon, google, Facebook etc that are living in poverty levels.
In any first world country no one should be homeless, hungry, or suffering from a treatable illness.

FWP: conservatives, even conservative office workers who actually enjoyed WFH and "got so much work done," here already forgotten how nice rush hour traffic was without the office crowd. Now it's a regurgitation of the "people just weren't working, companies had to bring them back in" line of corporate propaganda. Like office rats better hanging around the break room all day, rotating on their sit & spin, or watching youtube on the corner of their screen.
I bring this up because it expands the previous dump with another point about "traffic is so awful these days, we need to expand highways."
America would be better off not powering all the lights in a bunch of office buildings in their mostly vacant periods during each of 24 hours. That would probably be more effective than wasting time legislating 5W away from a specialty PC.

I still think they're a bit of an old-fashioned fashion statement, but that could just be my gripe about having too many clocks. There's also something philosophically sad about it which I can't put my finger quite squarely on. Spending so much time being surrounded by the tyrannical reminders of how so many aspects of modern life are timed and scheduled.
I feel bad for people who can't disconnect to get away from it all because it means their boss will be upset at them for turning off their phone(s) on vacation. Simpsons played on fears to promote mobile phones, and it was a mistake.
Dive watches usually utilize a rotating bezel for timing dives, not a straight timer. But it's a $275 MK, so it's clearly more of an entry level fashion statement than a nice timepiece.
