I can put a finer point on my argument earlier... The Press as we know it was intended to be the realization of the Freedom of the press, not the beneficiary.
The argument being floated in favor of Jim is that the media owns the freedom, implying that the commoner doesn't.
There is, in fact, explicitly no rank in government that is not that of a commoner, and yet we're allowing the media to encroach where our government leaders already have as well.
Equality is shot when you consider that congress can make rules that don't apply to them. But that's another subject.
That 28th amendment thing doesn't seem like a bad idea
Also that nbc article is awful, he literally made a joke that requires you don't agree with Nazis to find funny
"I don't want you to think I'm picking on you because we're part of the master race"
Ikr?
It was a dig at identity politics
But of course, the intentional snowflakes go running

Well, he kinda has a point, hasn't he?
I mean you'd only want to move to Countrys made by caucasians, right?
Stopgap measures.
If you're going to make an amendment make it something big, like abolishing political parties.
That's not a too bad idea.
or make them small, regional
Allow for affiliation, requiring transparency, abolish campaign finance outside constituent boundaries
Oh nice.
The bipartisan system is kind of slowly eating away at America lately lmao
PACs are fine. They can be nerfed through a constituency chapter requirement.
In such a way, republican party would become a republican PAC.
The infrastructure requirement would favor representation, and become a mitigating factor for national PACs.
A partial drain on their financial power.
Money is part of democracy, funding across state lines is like a vote in another state's elections.
yeah, the State needs to finance the Partys and get the 3rd party money out of hte partys
Huh?
The constituency needs to finance the candidate, not the party.
This is a congressman talking about the theoretical ability of the US nuking their own cities.
What a turd
Then start the war in dc
"we would rather you be radioactive ash than armed and able to defend yourselves"
More like "If we ever really decide to take your guns you won't be able to stop us." Still an incredibly stupid thing for a congressman to say, and incredibly myopic as to the realities of civil war.

That's not a Dem or Repub thing, that's just a stupid thing. Fortunately this man is about as far away from the levers of power as Cortez.
Oh good, I joined just to point out Swalwell "Joking" that he'd nuke America in order to undermine the constitution. Glad to see someone beat me to it.
