The left solely defines freedom as the license to be a slave to your own lusts, and then stick other people with the bill.
Cut that number in half and it would still be too many.
Applied in a democratic state, such doctrine sounds radical, but not revolutionary. It is only an acceptance of the extremest logical conclusions deducible from democratic principles long ago received as respectable. For it is very clear that in fundamental theory socialism and democracy are almost if not quite one and the same. They both rest at bottom upon the absolute right of the community to determine its own destiny and that of its members. Men as communities are supreme over men as individuals. Limits of wisdom and convenience to the public control there may be: limits of principle there are, upon strict analysis, none.
— Woodrow Wilson, Socialism and Democracy, 1887
This analysis is against the whole structure of the Constitution as limiting the power of the state.
No Bill of Rights.
No Federalism.
No balancing of state power against federal power.
No protection of individuals against the power of the government.
I say cut NYC loose from the union and let it be like Hong Kong.
This is ‘The New Yorker’ magazine...............
They got it wrong. Get rid of most of the 104 million words, and keep the 4.543 words.
"John Kerry said the First Amendment is a 'roadblock' to instituting their agenda, and needs to be curtailed to stop 'misinformation' and build a 'consensus'."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
With all due respect to young people, desperate, elite Democrats evidently don't understand that their repeated critique of “misinformation” without ever providing significant examples of what they're disagreeing with makes them look bratty, not someone that you would vote for for public office.
Maybe a constitutional right to make a reasonably informed decision is in order.
Speaking of desperate, elite Democrats and RINOs, since Congress and likewise renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.
In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.
Also, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

They think that they ARE the USA................
The greatest threat to our lives, liberties, and wellbeing is the Leftist 80%+, $3+ trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal government.
DISMANTLE THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL PORTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
SUPPORT VIVEK for PRESIDENT in 2028, the only one on the national stage who talks about this.
That’s when I used to subscribe. Tina Brown fixed that.
I seriously believe the left will be emboldened at some point to begin (or rather ramp up severely) violating constitutional rights- regardless of what the SC rules- There are 1000’s of peaceful people who have been arrested, imprisoned, and sent to solitary for years who did nothing wrong- worse is coming it seems-
It requires 3/4ths of the states to ratify an amendment to the Constitution, not 2/3rds.
Now it makes more sense as to why the rag promotes removing people's rights: Tina Brown, along with Harvey Weinstein, founded Talk Media to publish books, a magazine, movies, and television programs. It also figures she's a Brit.
Sick people backing other sick people and trying to remove victims' protections.
John Kerry testifies against U.S. involvement in Vietnam, April 22nd, 1971.

Traitor then, and Traitor NOW!
The mask is completely off now.
It will not be enough to win an election. They need to be rooted out from all institutions.
I say it’s time to torch The New Yorker, and the rest of the legacy media.... Take a flamethrower to them all.
