Balrog0 11/14/19 3:12:40 PM #29 | Great_Reapette posted... so why is either being held at fault? Because they lobby hard to maintain their first in the nation status(es)? Though to be clear I dont see the video in the OP criticizing Iowa for being first so much as criticizing the fact that they're always first. Great_Reapette posted... like yeah there are countless ways that the entire election cycle could be improved, but there's not some kind of corn boogeyman telling the feds to keep California or NJ from having an early primary Nah they aren't boogeymen just tools in the democratic party establishment like tom vilsack, who himself is only a nationally prominent politician due to the status of Iowa as going first. it's a self-promoting cycle Great_Reapette posted... hell, they tried to do that in 2008, but decided they'd rather have a late one to cut costs. blame them Florida and Michigan lost all of their delegates in 2008 because they did do this --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. |

Balrog0 11/13/19 1:35:35 PM #19 | ElatedVenusaur posted... It's my understanding that most congresspeople spend a lot of time on the phone talking to donors, which is time AOC spends doing her actual job(IIRC, she only misses hearings if it's at the same time as another hearing). So she probably has more free time than most of them. not to mention all the scheduled recesses where congress doesn't meet at all being a congressperson is a really easy job if you're a safe bet for re-election --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. |

Balrog0 11/13/19 9:02:08 AM #56 | scar the 1 posted... Would you care to elaborate? It is specific about that, but the definition of "official capacity" is very broad. https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/internet-speech/court-rules-public-officials-cant-block-critics-facebook As the court rightly held, that includes any time that theyre controlling a Facebook page they maintain in their official roles. Specifically, the court recognized that when a public official uses a Facebook page as a tool of governance that is, when she uses it to inform the public about her government work, solicits input on policy issues through the page, and swathes it in the trappings of her office she is controlling the page as a government actor. And if she opens that page to public comment, the interactive space of the Facebook page constitutes a public forum. The fact that the page exists on a website owned by a private company doesnt change that. --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. |
