That is really a trollish comparison. The US military is under the under the control of a democratically elected government. Even considering that there have been abuses, There is a categorical ethical difference. The ISIS videos are often

The real effects of leaving ISIS recruiting videos on youtube is people dying. They actually do succeed in recruiting people and those people do bad things. Shouldn't this be stopped?

I think ISIS is a reasonable start at a definition. The more they want to hurt people the less tolerant they are.

Its Youtube, not a public space and not something government controlled. They are free to say what is and isn't on their system. What if you made a system and someone took that from you and they demanded that ISIS be given equal rights

Why wouldn't I be? They are just performing another count. If one party brought machines to a poll place and managed to make trouble it is likely that the other party will show up too. Eventually it would just be part of the political

I think "non-partisan" is just code for "not partisan yet". The parties get huge sway in shaping the voting district, why would this body be different? Could it stay different going forward and different parties attack i

It would not need to be done for each poll place or precinct. Each party could pick high population or high risk precincts. I think a larger issue is proving that the machine's the parties brought are not tampering with the ballots.
