Current Events > DYK North Korea's constitution protects free speech?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's true article 67. So does Russia's.

So don't say we can lose those right in America because muh constitution says so. A constitution can be ignored if the government wants to.

Vote Biden, he sucks on Israel but even if he didn't Israel would be getting US support, Congress has shown that and to some extent same thing both sides does actually apply there. But if you want sleep easy knowing the government won't try and put you in a death camp or take away your rights it's Biden or Bust.

A constitution can be ignored if the government wants to.

You mean like what's happening right now with the bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act?

I don't think Hermit's going to answer my question.

Yeah.

And it will get a lot worse if Slug Virus returns to Pennsylvania Avenue.

You know how I like to point out these fearmongering topics are pointless at best and abjectly counterproductive at worst?

Let's ignore that for a second.

What is the benefit of declaring for a candidate this far out? If you want to influence policy, you're giving up the only card you have to play. If there is something, anything you'd like to change about the current administration, doesn't it make more sense to bring the tiny amount of leverage you can apply, even if you're actually 100% locked in to your preferred candidate?

Trying to influence US policy on Israel right now is a lost cause. We need to prepare for the future when it can actually be done.

And it seems like CountCorvinus wasn't asking that question in good faith. Oh well their posts are no big loss to me.
