Imagine if there was a cap on election spending. Heck, imagine they got rid of dark money donations and passed legislation to reverse Citizens United too. People would have to run on policy instead of stupid talking points.

Here in Canada they’re not really allowed to campaign until 90-120 days before an election (and an election can be after 4 or 5 years). Of course our political parties get around that by demanding that people step down in between those election cycles, so technically they’re not violating any laws.

Get rid of the dark money and don't allow them to trade stock while in office. People selling access to themselves as elected officials too... we've seriously lost the thread.

So my ex finally took my younger child to a doctor's appointment - looks like we will be splitting a 1000 in dental bills since her insurance has lapsed.

Citizens United is the dumbest decision ever made by SCOTUS.

I'd contend thats it was US v Miller.

 

[BB79]

We just have to stop sending money to foreign nations and the UN.

Why doesn't the US government spend our tax money to help US citizens!?


<<politician's reaction



I'll add to the list, can we get interviews without the cremepuff, scripted questions? "What's your favorite ice cream flavor?" Really??

Clearly the best ice cream flavour is Blueberry Maple.

Its the only way to get a truthful answer from them.

Imagine if politicians could only talk about what they want to do to benefit the country, and weren't allowed to attack their opposition on anything but policy.

Waterboarding all of them would be more effective

Not really. It’s been shown doing that only gets the answers the waterboarders wanna hear.

Probably. But also that’s something I have no interest in seeing

It's funny, many of us agree about certain issues, but we're still so f***ing divided.

Citizens United is the dumbest decision ever made by SCOTUS.

It’s hard to crown a single winner in that regard. There are some real doozies out there. Dred Scott, Korematsu, Lochner, Plessy v Ferguson…

 

[Club]

I'm in the process of moving back to my home city (Calgary ). I've lived in this small town for 6 or 7 years & the drama, gossip, every day drinking people do with no opportunity at all has really gotten to me recently. I'm actually excited to take this next step.
