>> So you don't see it as a rejection of the right of free speech? Hasn't the Supreme Court already ruled that campaign contributions are a form of free speech? Of all the leftist policy proposals, eliminating free speech ought to scare the bejesus out of people the most. It is as though everything we knew about freedom 20 years ago has been discarded. It is funny there is no criticism from the Left about Citizens United anymore. After Democrats have raised and spent more Citizens United money in every election year since that decision, I guess it doesn't seem so bad anymore. Seems to me HRC proved campaign advertising can only do so much. No one has ever spent so much on negative advertising, but in the end working smarter won the election.

"So you don't see it as a rejection of the right of free speech?" Saying, "We do not accept political ads"? No, but I would be willing to agree that it's an abrogation of the fiduciary responsibility to maximize income. Do you think SI is rejecting free speech when they won't let me post lewd content, or spam?
