- jvanderbot 1y agoDo you see the danger in introducing this dichotomy? A stock ban is not bad even if you believe that it won't help. Many do believe it is a good idea, and therefore is worth a vote. But stopping it by saying we should tilt at another windmill? I don't see the benefit of that, I only see it being used as a tactic to stop good legislation in favor of the impossible great.
- JKCalhoun 1y ago> Ban money in politics. Overturn citizen v united. Agree. But allowing legislators to trade and vote on legislation that affects their holdings is a part of "ban money in politics".
