(5,961 posts)I was not surprised to see DUers advocate for 2A reform and against corporate personhood. I was also not particularly surprised to see DUers advocating strongly for anti-gerrymandering measures.
I was surprised that:
- there were relatively few calls to pass the ERA
- there were relatively few calls to abolish capital punishment
- there were fewer calls than I expected for an end to drug prohibition/ a right to privacy
- fewer calls think I'd have expected to make health care a right, and I think a right to housing and available food and clean water should also be considered.
- as with modifying the 2A, I was a little surprised not to see folks wanting to expand 1A protections to electronic media. Many feel that this is inferred. I'd assert that, like the right to privacy, it's possibly time to spell it out.
