For example, Hillary Trump says that Donald Clinton is a sexist pig. Hillary'd be punished by this law. Bernie Cruz says that Ted Sanders' tax plan would increase the debt. Bernie'd be punished by this law.
I know it would never happen and I even doubt it would work as intended, but I'm only 41 and I'm already so fed up with our political system that I want to just go to sleep and never wake up again.
Yes, let's limit their right to freedom of speech. Frustration is shared, but as I told you there is nothing changing anytime soon. The parties are too big. Being helpless sucks, but that is where we are at for now. I mean think about it, the only way election process gets changed is through the people in the parties you want to strip of power.
