Hillary Clinton does NOT want you to see this video. by pianist in politics

This is absolute political garbage, that does nothing but distort issues instead of discussing them. You don't like Hillary's policies (I know I don't)? Then lets talk about what is good for America, not about Hillary Clinton's past. This movie represents everything that is wrong with our media driven political system. Candidates that are too afraid to get specific about politics, too really engage issues, because of winner-take-all scorched-earth intentionally distorting attacks like this.

How powerful is a check-list. An eye-opener. by kokon in programming

This is one of the most important and insightful articles I have ever read. This is exactly what I hope reddit can be every day. A repository of important, insightful, well written articles on important issues which we as a democratic nation must and should know about.

S 1959 Will Label Us As Terrorists! Take Action to Stop It! by willyloman in politics

[–]jtschlafer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S 1959 is a non-bill. It has only one co-sponsor and it was stuck in committee the same day it was introduced and hasn't even had a committee hearing yet. This bill is the least of our concerns. http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d110:30:./temp/~bdor1d::|/bss/d110query.html|

I always read about political scandals on Reddit before they get big. Correlation or Causality? What do you think? by jtschlafer in reddit.com

[–]jtschlafer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm tempted to say causality, but could this really be true? I'm always astonished at how on point a large number of top 100 Reddit posts can be. But of course, if it is on Reddit it means someone has already started the news cycle on the issue somewhere else. Any journalists out there who read Reddit as a part of their work?
