Yeah, you're doing a terrible job. I heard the party you're supposed to be running has never won an election.

Could we stop creating chemicals and dumping them everywhere without knowing what they do? Or at least only use ones that break down relatively quickly instead of becoming ubiquitous in the air and water before we realize they're terrible for us...

Remove the subsidies and institute an actual carbon price mechanism, and we'll see how quickly people begin to switch over.

The constitution is outdated and causes congress to get jammed up while the executive grabs more power because congress can't govern.

It's hypothetically possible that we could hack biology enough to become functionally immortal, but do you really want that? Considering the impact 90 year old Senators are having I'm just imagining an ever more out of touch gerantocracy. Imagine young people being born into a world where no one ever retires or dies, and their opinions are fixed based on what they experienced 100 years ago. Change is good.

I don't think most people who hear the "fire in a crowded theater" line are going to think it's about protesting war. It's an example when speech can have an immediate harmful effect that seems to have a lot more relevance to the discussion of limitations on expression.
