What are you talking about? Abolition of slavery was very much a progressive position.

I’m inferring from the language of the post that OP is against this policy change, but I’m not sure I follow the argument. Why is it problematic that Plex is asking for money?

Reality has a liberal bias.

Yup. It’s often easier to ignore a question than consider the possibility that we’re mistaken.

Out of curiosity, what do think were the three main things the FTC worked on last year?

The fact that you were unaware of what they do has no bearing on the massive amount of work they actually accomplish.

True, but I’m asking what they can do, and that’s far from clear. What do you suggest?

As you pointed out, they attempted to subpoena Musk and the republicans voted it down. They’ve also introduced articles of impeachment, which they successfully put through last time only to have senate republicans refuse to convict on the basis that trump was no longer president.

Politely, I think this comment is unhelpful. What do you propose that they do? Our government is based to a large degree on the assumption of good faith. The Supreme Court, for example, has power because the constitution says it does. They don’t have the capacity to actually enforce the rulings they hand down.

The current president has basically said that he doesn’t care about the constitution, and is just concerned with stealing power for himself and his cronies. Elections are supposed to be our mechanism for dealing with that.
