    It is astounding. If I were in charge of the DNC, I’d absolutely hound him on this the moment they’re able. Turn it into a massive spectacle, everyone involved, televised court hearings, the works. The Reality Television President goes out with a reality television bang. I’m a dumbass yet I know he’s violated the commerce clause a few dozen times over. In the process, try and get crypto properly regulated as the securities trading boondoggle that it is.

    I’m not, though, and I severely doubt any of this is gonna happen.

      HEY HEY HEY we are only going to fight and win IF we fight according to the rules and decorum set out by people who have been in the game in Washington DC for several decades too long.

      If we have to give that up to win, it isn’t worth winning against fascism! We have just become our enemies!

        Exactly. Down that road leads election funding reforms, an end to the first past the post electoral system, and possibly some form of representative democracy, or worse - a successful progressive movement. Modern Democrats won’t stand by and let those things happen.

      Lol no you wouldn’t because your goal would be to do the exact same thing.
