Smart people support free speech cuz they know they can be wrong & they question everything! I don’t block anyone. All perspectives welcome. Independent

For the most part, state curation of private speech is itself a threat to democracy for 2 reasons.

(1) The state will disproportionately burden false speech that works against its narrative compared to speech that works for it.

(2) The state will suppress accurate information either because it wrongly thought it was false, or because the information is inconvenient for the state’s narrative.

The truth is not always easy to find out. We must have room to debate it, even if the answer appears obvious. We cannot risk having potentially true information being supressed out of error or policial bias.

@JBos6171992 We should have a proportional system like in many European countries.

It’s CRAZY that the partisan composition of Congress depends on how someone draws a map.

[Free Speech Now @Logobu2023]

@PhilRages @romneydem Section 2 does exactly what you said.

It doesn’t mandate proportionality. And certainly not special treatment.

@Deprvaton @AidenCo69970155 @JonathonMPrice @Whyamihere__06 @nixondefender The electoral college doesn’t stop stupidity.

It simply gives weights people’s votes according to the State they reside in, and cancels the minority in each State.

It produces arbitrary election outcomes.

[Free Speech Now @Logobu2023]

@JonathonMPrice @Whyamihere__06 @nixondefender The electoral college doesn’t protect rights. It can also allow a minority to take away popular rights.

The way to protect rights is having an enforceable Bill of Rights.

@JBos6171992 I can’t keep up with this

South Carolina is sneakily heavily gerrymandered. It's very easy to draw a compact 4R-3D map, which also reflects the state's partisan makeup very well.

But it's 6R-1D in reality, and the GOP has to let that seat exist because of the VRA.

[Free Speech Now @Logobu2023]

@RedEaglePatriot You missed Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Missouri. Probably Kansas and South Carolina as well

Meanwhile, Alabama and Louisiana are fair. Any less Democratic, and they’re gerrymandered

California is probably fair given the lack of partisan segregation makes proportionality hard.

@LisaBritton No

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

Both parties love to gerrymander because both parties despise having to actually deliver for voters to stay in office.

@Redvoter2024 This is so funny, it’s like an Onion Parody.

Nancy Pelosi is the first person I think of when I think of congressional stock trading.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

I remember the first time I met Randy Fine when he was a candidate before he barely won Florida’s deep red 6th district seat, as we were being told he might actually lose the seat because the strong Trump district couldn’t relate to him and didn’t like him.
He was telling me that he and his wife were looking forward to moving to Washington and he hadn’t even won yet.
I said to him that Washington isn’t a good place to live and he should live in the district he will represent. You know that whole “representative” thing.
But he was adamant that they did not want to live in the district.
And I thought, no wonder that district doesn’t want to elect him.
I can only imagine how Florida’s 6th district feels now that their Representative, that they were told to vote for, openly calls for starving innocent people and children.
It’s the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza.
But a Jewish U.S. Representative calling for the continued starvation of innocent people and children is disgraceful.
His awful statement will actually cause more antisemitism.

@rep_favorite Left: Washington

Right: Florida

[Free Speech Now @Logobu2023]

@JeremiahW2044 What about Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Utah, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, South Carolina, Florida, Texas, or Nebraska?

None of those State are proportional.

[Free Speech Now @Logobu2023]

@admcrlsn Democrats are one seat short of a supermajority in the NY Senate.

Which means they won’t be able to amend the constitution, to allow them to redistrict.

[Free Speech Now @Logobu2023]

We need to have proportional legislatures in America.

Just like many other European Countries.

[Free Speech Now @Logobu2023]

@smashbaals What do these numbers mean?
