Didn’t realize I was on .ml till I saw this
I’m practice it only presents a problem to those who have previously testified but might be called as witness, so the def can confront them.
The only thing gained would be is now it’s easier to bribe or threaten witnesses into not testifying. If you wish to not testify at all as others have mentioned I don’t recall or I was tying my shoes are there for you to use.
not applicable to billion-dollar military boondoggles or handouts for corpos
You asked what good ideas to which he responded limiting government spending. Then you rebuke the notion that limiting wasteful spending is a fundamental good idea by criticizing politicians for not doing it in military boondoggles or with corporate welfare. Those are critiques of politicians not the ideas, as those negative examples are when the idea isn’t applied.
I agree that we should curtail wasteful military spending and corporate welfare. But in advocating for those you yourself advocate for the idea of limiting government spending.

Voting isn’t only about winning. It’s also about making your voice heard. In hard Blue or Red states an individual vote won’t likely make a difference. If a 3rd party got enough of the vote Republicans and Democrats would be scrambling over each other to make their party platform more palatable to that 3rd party.
More power to them, beats not voting.
An ex employee of his got accused of being in a minor’s DMs.

I think Cory Booker has potential. But a ham sandwich is the most electable candidate today. Just be somewhat alive and not problematic.
Not born in America. So he’s a no go.
