When all this is over, we need to pass a law that every state require at least half a year’s civics education in middle school or high school on the basics of the US Constitution. It’s terrifying how many Americans seem not to have a clue.

Only if we include, in the class, that the constitution is an outdated document designed to keep rich white guys in power at the expense of democracy, and badly needs to be fully redone for our contemporary circumstances and knowledge.

Absolutely... If we don’t know our rights... It is impossible to defend them. Knowledge is power.

Unfortunately those who do have the knowledge, eg Obama, use that to find their self serving interpretive way around it. Then your criminal exceptionalism never applies it to foreign policy. #Assange

Speaking of not having a clue, your position on #Assange is ignorant & terrifying. Your notion he should be prosecuted for exposing the corruption of one politician over another is partisan hackery. Assange published damning internal DNC docs leaked by whistleblower #SethRich
