“I personally don’t think the 1619 Project is an intellectually honest piece of journalism (not just my opinion but the opinion of professional historians) but goddam if Tom Cotton’s response was the worst possible way to criticize it. He could’ve easily attacked it on its inconsistencies, faulty pos…”

“Considering there’s been numerous allegations regarding its inaccuracy and completely biased narrative, it should not be taught to students at all. And this is coming from an Independent. Teach primary sources instead. Teach what figures like Jefferson, Washington, Lincoln, Frederick Douglas, etc ac…”

“The Constitution states in Amendment XIV, Section 2 that the number of people in each state, regardless of citizenship, are to be counted. This would include illegal immigrants. This isn’t a partisan issue but a constitutional one and the Constitution is clearly in favor of counting illegal immigran…”

“How statues to traitors ended up in the Capitol is beyond me but they need to go. They despised the constitution and the notion that “all men are created equal” so they tried to destroy it. They do not deserve to be memorialized. Put the statues in a museum where they belong. We don’t need to erect …”

“Everyone who values individual liberty and self-determination should support the Hong Kong protestors and hold the CCP in the utmost disdain. They must not be allowed to crush freedom in Hong Kong or anywhere else in the world. There must be a unilateral opposition to authoritarian and totalitarian …”

“Congress needs to stand up and retake the war powers that rightfully belong to the legislative branch. This is truly a bipartisan issue here. The Constitution is the law of the land, not the president, and the president is clearly violating these sacred rules by not consulting with the legislative b…”

“Andrew Yang is truly the only candidate speaking to the real issue of automation and is working to make America prepared for a world where 47% of all jobs are automated. His policies are sound and well researched, even though I don’t agree with him on some aspects. Not Left, not Right, but Forward.”

“Absolutely no one is saying that we should forget the Civil War. It’s not like by destroying statues, you’re contributing to public amnesia. Put them in a museum if you want to keep them around but don’t flaunt them in the same fashion one would of a statue of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. …”

“Legislative ambiguities are usually settled by the executive branch whose job, in theory at least, is to have the wisdom to act when the laws are not explicit. While I despise Trump and everything he stands for, the power of interpretation is an executive power. The judicial branch is meant to revie…”

“Protect our natural biodiversity at all costs! If the wild goes, humans won’t be far behind. And keep prostitution illegal. The majority of prostitutes do not want to be prostitutes as it is a degrading and horrific profession. It’s a privileged viewpoint to think that legalizing it will actually be…”

“This bill should absolutely become a law! The bill is in the same vein as not allowing sex offenders to be around children. Why should animals be put in harms way and entrusted to those who wish them harm? We wouldn’t with children so why should we with pets? I implore you to make this federal law s…”

“While CRISPR certainly has applications that can be very beneficial, it definitely the pinnacle of human hubris to try and play God like this. Read Frankenstein people! If we try to manipulate nature, nature will push back even harder and put us in our place. We must tread very carefully going forwa…”

“While I understand the fears of government abuse of vaccines, health and environmental emergencies transcend individual beliefs because they effect EVERYONE. No exists in a vacuum in such crises.

“I definitely believe something needs to be done especially since children as young as 8 now are beginning to watch porn and it does have destructive effects on a persons ability to have emotional connections to a partner and it just objectifies women, leading to the breakdown of the family.

“Revenge porn is a horrific practice that violates the privacy of another person and does so without their consent. It is not free speech because free speech protects rational discussion and productive discourse, not calumny and slander which revenge porn is taking part in. The act should be made a p…”
