Sure, that's the idea. In Canada they call it the dialogue principle. It's not that easy in practice though with how slow the legislative tends to move.

Of all the things to criticize congress for, "speed" should be the very last. It's designed to be slow and difficult in order to protect against impulsive or radical new laws being passed. The representatives in government should take a pulse on the American public and find out if people actually support these things or whether it can be vetted by experienced people like scientists, local authorities, and business owners. Otherwise we might end up with a trainwreck like the Green New Deal or free college or some other horrible idea. Besides, congress has shown they have the ability to fast track certain bills like the pandemic stimulus if they are absolutely necessary and time critical.

That's really a theoretical difference though. If the law says X and the supreme courts says it means Y, who can you appeal to?

Then you have congress pass a different law with the result that you want. That's why we have separate legislative and judicial branches.

Why would they care?

I don't recall them caring about it when it was an issue a few years ago.

They did care during the bitcoin craze because they knew the used card market was going to become oversaturated when it was over. It also hurts brand loyalty when their actual customers can't buy their products.

you act like this is an issue that just started 10 years ago. this is decades worth of unchecked abuse and decades worth of the police turning into a gang. No, not all cops are part of that gang, but the system doesn't allow those cops to stop the gang.

Even if you want to go that route, there is no data that supports that narrative. Police kill about 1,000 people every year, in the whole country, total. That is not a big number. And most of those killings were at least somewhat justified. A quarter of the people killed were black (last year only 14 were unarmed), but that's because they largely live in cities and most crime tends to happen in urban areas. There are 12,000 police departments, half a million cops, and over 60 million police interactions per year in the country, and you're trying to tell me that they're murdering people everywhere and covering it up?

Excuse me, they didnt put themselves down as neo-Nazis, and you had some very bad people in that group. But you also had people that were very fine people on both sides. You had people in that group excuse me, excuse me, I saw the same pictures you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.

After another question at that press conference, Trump became even more explicit:

Im not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists because they should be condemned totally.

Another one we see to this day is progressives being anti-nuclear energy.

We may never know if they are "on the wrong side of history" if nuclear energy doesn't become mainstream again, though. It has successfully been demonized in society (although major disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima have made it very easy to demonize)

To be fair, those two incidents were pretty big disasters with long term consequences and can't be easily written off. It's like even though school shootings are statistically rare, when they do happen it's pretty bad.

Is not wanting children to perform clearly erotic dances while a cameraman zooms in on their crotches and asses a conservative talking point? Because I'm a democrat and I thought it was just common sense.

I think people saw "conservative family" in the description and thought "oh well then it's okay." Vox even has a whole piece defending it, blaming the backlash on QAnon culture or something. That's bullshit, it has nothing to do with QAnon... QAnon isn't even fucking real. It's only the fact that they used REAL children to perform sexually suggestive acts on camera and sold it for money. The film's message isn't lost on anyone, but there are a lot of other ways they could have gone about making the same point.

In the show, personality wise he comes across as a nice guy but he still goes out of his way to disrupt Johnny's life when it's none of his business. Despite his good guy pretense, I find it hard to like his character and it's a lot easier to like Johnny in the show instead.

Wasn't the whole idea for this show inspired by How I Met Your Mother? The two actors even appeared on the show as themselves.
