@jmaris @abolitionniste @elCelio @HistoPol @nooartur @Veza85UE That's my understanding too.

@annika @mattswift @Greengordon Could you, please tell me why? this is something affecting all those of use using the app so me commenting is perfectly fine, I haven't been impolite nor disrespectful, I don't present my own anecdotal information as anything but anecdotal. Sorry, I don't understand your objections.

@Mastodon And who will certify, or verify, the expertise of each one of us? Besides, folks can talk without been experts, it's called conversation and I thought it was the purpose. Anyway, I forgot we shouldn't interact with people we don't know, my apologies :-)

@Greengordon @Mastodon The feature mentions warning us about the expertise of the person to whom we reply, how is the expertise established?

@mattswift @Greengordon @Mastodon I see, so a self-declared expertise as stated in their public bio. I don't like the idea, I think many people do not mention their expertise in their bio, for many different reasons. I worry we're making things too complicated attempting to resolve an issue I haven't seen mentioned in the time I been in Mastodon, but I reckon my knowledge is purely anecdotal.

I think there's consensus on the issue of money in politics: it needs strong regulation, corporations shouldn't be able to contribute to candidates, parties nor PACs.
Regarding the "two party" system it is more a consequence of primary-general election system, and state election laws, than a constitutional matter. We can't forget the perversion created by gerrymandering, that must be addressed.

@goatsarah I lived over 3 decades in the US. Racial dynamics, relations and history are very different in the US and Europe, even terminology differs considerably. It's very hard for most US and European folks to understand each other on most social (not just racial) issues.
