You'd rather support genocide more than deal with your irrational fear of "big government"? Sorry, but that's the most cowardly response for not voting for a pro-peace/pro-worker/anti-genocide candidate I've ever heard. How about once Jill cuts the military budget by more than 50% the federal government is that much smaller?
Gaza is not my only concern. And it’s not irrational. Nothing good will happen with corrupt agencies having more power to ‘protect us’. Colonialism and ethnic cleansing wont stop either until laws are changed to reduce influence of oligarchs who benefit from land/resource grabbing. There’s no order to Jills platform. Looks like a wish list
Has to start with a cap on political contributions and illegal for organizations to contribute to political campaigns. Sports have salary caps for parity. We need parity otherwise the bad guys always win
FEC, but it’s a fair point. If we make it fool proof, you wouldn’t need much auditing and monitoring (and gaming). Cap total contributions at $50MM . No more dark money.
If only it were that easy. We just gotta make it fool-proof.
And anti-trust, who is going to enforce that, if not Big Government? ("You can have concentrated wealth or you can have democracy, but you cannot have both....")
Don't misunderstand me, I understand your suspicion of government. I just don't believe in panaceas. Rather, there are just temporary expedients that have to be scrapped as the sociopaths will find the weak points in all of them, or simply change the rules mid-way.

Some of these irrational comments, I suspect are being spread by sock puppet armies/troll farms of the duopoly.
What’s irrational?

Who will enforce those laws? And believe me, those laws would be obeyed only if enforced.

Who is going to supervise and enforce that? Sounds like Big Government.
