I’ve seen some people saying that she has freedom of speech and should’ve have been fired based on her Facebook posts. Well, she _does_ have freedom of speech and her employer has freedom to listen to her freedom of speech and the freedom to fire her over the choices she makes in her freedom of speech. Two police officers were also fired for similar remarks yesterday. Now they’re all free to their freedom of speech without being tied down to the responsibility that comes with certain professions which includes being a civilized human being and a valid role model of proper behavior.

Comparing a teacher or a police officer to a purple hat is the worst argument ever.

Freedom has two components in any society: “Freedom to” and “freedom from”.

Politicians in power have a lot of tools in their toolboxes to accomplish their goals. If the various departments aren’t agreeable to it, they can push back, delay, stall, etc but if they go along with it, that means they’re agreeable to it.

Not entirely zero, no. Study the twists and turns in the 2000 election. Despite massive $ to convince people, Bush won. Even his winning was a tangled mess of one mistake after another.

Politics is dirty and people have their favs and push for it, but in the end, the vote can change who gets in office.

Some countries have a forced vote. Australia I think does, for example. Our way looks weird to them. Do I agree with that? I dunno. I mean, it’s nice that you can say “no thank you” to voting in the USA.

I know I can’t convince you. Your mind was fixed and set long before I came along. Can’t budge a mountain. I’m just expressing.
