I hate to say it but proposing a constitutional amendment is just virtue signaling at this point. There isn’t a snowballs chance in hell this passes even with 100% democrat support.
I appreciate the thought and effort but put forth legislation that actually has a chance at passing.
Absolutely disingenuous to report this as "house Dems", as though the liberal (i.e. conservative) Dems are in on it. They are not. These are progressive Dems who propose this basically every year, and who are actually fighting for us, not corporations and profits. Liberal Dems then work with their Republican friends to shut it down. This is why liberal Dems are as much the enemy as the Republicans.
Please do!
Where was this a decade ago?
Because there's no chance in hell that this will pass under a Republican majority.
Get them on the fucking record. Keep introducing it and have it dominate news cycles. The biggest sense of optimistism I had during the Harris campaign was her specifically calling for a reform of corporate personhood.
Long overdue, and probably too late.
True. I really wish they would focus on things they can actually do as the minority. Like, this is performative, but I'm not even sure for who it's supposed to be performative. Do dems honestly think there's even a single voter out there with the attitude of "well I wasn't going to vote next year, but after seeing dems moonshot yet another dead-on-arrival amendment about a 15-year old court ruling I'm on board!"
Look at what republicans were able to accomplish on the level of school boards, counties, churches, state houses, election commissions, etc while they were out of power and steal their playbook for goodness sake 😒
Typical governing bullshit. Try to do something good for the actual public, but only when it has zero hope of passing. Notice how for the past 25 years, anytime they could push this through, it was never brought up.
Both
Sides.
Losing a finger and losing a hand are different things.
Not making excuses for dems but I am sick of this fucking empty headed fucking bill Maher horseshit.
Just in time!
A little too little, a little too late. They did jack shit when they had power.
Wow so brave. \s \s \s
Seriously tho. These people are phony AF. They had 4 years to actually do this. This is just political theater.
I mean, they had 14 years didn't they?
Have they ever tried to pass an ammendment for this?
Can't expect much from them when they owe thier position to corporations to. It's been a dog and pony show for a long time.
