If juries are randomly chosen, the majority think it's betrayal. Frasier Balzov Jul 2024 #44

Juries aren't randomly chosen. After a certain number of pulled posts, you can't participate on juries anymore. meadowlander Jul 2024 #50

They have. EarlG posted a week or two back and juries have been pulling any post that advocates for it. meadowlander Jul 2024 #48

I agree Yorkie Mom. Irish_Dem Jul 2024 #20

I'd love to be able to have that discussion and pick your brain about what you think Yorkie Mom Jul 2024 #31

This would be far worse than after 2016. yorkster Jul 2024 #30

Why are you saying that? MorbidButterflyTat Jul 2024 #33

My issue is why wasn't this addressed last fall? Buckeyeblue Jul 2024 #38
