First event is a civics test.

Serving power certainly let's a person do more, just don't be surprised when people point out how it isn't helping.

There were the government shutdowns but they always cave. Then there's getting arrested while protesting (not breaking the law BTW, just straight up intimidation), which is honestly the bare minimum at this point. Look up Kat Abu for an example.

Fair. But to be clear, the experts without major conflicts of interest agree with this guy.

I like that you brought up an example that can be analyzed. The court ordered him to apologize and he didn't follow through, there has to be some consequence to disobeying a judge. But it seems to me they could benefit from less hegemonic judges.

I really wish I understood the Chinese legal system better. It's like they operate under a different constellation of rights and it isn't immediately obvious to me how these cases play out. Maybe I should try finding some modern legal dramas from the mainland....

I don't think I have ever seen that explanation work on someone who is misinformed, but if I am proven wrong then the world will be a better place.

I phone banked for Harris but she was making our jobs harder by taking unpopular positions. What will you have me say to the voter who won't vote for a Newsom presidency because they take AIPAC money? Because I was told to just move on and call the next person.
