Which is bullshit

2018-08-10 21:25:31 UTC  

How

2018-08-10 21:25:41 UTC  

Ahh, but what wasn't decided was whether politicians can be limited in what they can *accept*

2018-08-10 21:26:01 UTC  

Capital doesn't have voting rights, people do.

2018-08-10 21:26:05 UTC  

What do you think is worth more?

2018-08-10 21:26:17 UTC  

The time spent of the media talking about you?

2018-08-10 21:26:23 UTC  

Or hard cash?

2018-08-10 21:26:42 UTC  

Time spent

2018-08-10 21:26:42 UTC  

Should we restrict the Young Turks for supporting bernie

2018-08-10 21:27:01 UTC  

Because that is worth more to him than cold hard cash

2018-08-10 21:27:23 UTC  

Should we put a restriction on how much the media talks about politicians?

2018-08-10 21:27:43 UTC  

Just because it can't be dealt with perfectly doesn't mean it should be left alone.

2018-08-10 21:27:53 UTC  

Where does it end?

2018-08-10 21:28:05 UTC  

You can't limit people's speech. But you can limit what federal employees do

2018-08-10 21:28:09 UTC  

It ends with politicians.

2018-08-10 21:28:27 UTC  

Once you start restricting what people can donate too

2018-08-10 21:28:40 UTC  

Can i not give money to the NRA?

2018-08-10 21:29:01 UTC  

Is the NRA a politician?

2018-08-10 21:29:07 UTC  

Corporations aren't people

2018-08-10 21:29:12 UTC  

They support politicians

2018-08-10 21:29:26 UTC  

this wouldn't restrict people giving donations, it would restrict corps.

2018-08-10 21:29:31 UTC  

We're talking about the finances of federal employees

2018-08-10 21:29:40 UTC  

Well according to the supream court of the US

Corperations are protected by 1st admentment

2018-08-10 21:30:13 UTC  

And the hatch act is different

2018-08-10 21:30:22 UTC  

The supreme court is full of shit.

2018-08-10 21:30:31 UTC  

???

2018-08-10 21:30:36 UTC  

Y'all are coming at this from the wrong angle

2018-08-10 21:30:45 UTC  

That is litterally not an argument

2018-08-10 21:31:06 UTC  

@Deleted User Neither is the appeal to authority with SCOTUS

2018-08-10 21:31:19 UTC  

It is what determines what is lawful

2018-08-10 21:31:27 UTC  

That is not an appeal to authority

2018-08-10 21:31:32 UTC  

They're quite literally usurping lawmaking powers. Something that they were never meant to heave. Just because they say something doesn't make it right.

2018-08-10 21:31:38 UTC  

It is telling you what is factually the case

2018-08-10 21:31:55 UTC  

SCOTUS has made several bad decisions or non decisions in the past

2018-08-10 21:32:04 UTC  

People have the power we allow them to have

2018-08-10 21:32:18 UTC  

Yes yes

2018-08-10 21:32:23 UTC  

Repeal the NFA

2018-08-10 21:32:50 UTC  

I was going to say allowing the fed to confiscate people's gold and make the dollar a fiat

2018-08-10 21:33:01 UTC  

That was under FDR
