DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:i find this to be a very worthwhile endeavor, do you take donations in bitcoin??? The weird thing, however, is that this just illustrates yet another of what I like to call the “21st Century Problems.” If cryptocurrency is better than our current system of either trading pieces of easily misplaced or stolen paper, or getting charged a fee on every transaction, why is there no movement in our government to make cryptocurrency standard? It would be to the benefit of the many and the detriment of only a few. Well, we can all guess that those few are payment processors and credit card companies – who are quite active in the lobbying of congressional officials and the funding of elected officials’ campaigns. Once again, we see how we are unable to prepare for a rapidly shifting future because we are still being held back by our 20th century problem. Reforming the way that candidates raise money for campaigns really is – and I love to go back to this – the First Issue. It’s not just blocking the left and the right on issues we know about, it is preventing us from taking advantage of technological advances. It is causing the U.S. to fall behind technologically – our last, great reason we can be considered a superpower. This is why campaign finance reform cannot wait for the next generation. We can’t wait for the future. We’re living in the future. So it’s up to us. - Brian Boyko

YOSPOS loves crypto. Maybe if you stop over there you can get them to pledge some bits. You do accept Bitcoin, right?

I’m starting a rebellion. Not a violent one, and not one full of drastic people shouting in the street. And not a rebellion against a government, a party, or even people in general. This is a rebellion against a system. And I want all of you – Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, to join me. This rebellion is a cross-partisan initiative to fix Systemic Corruption first. --Brian Boyko e: VVVVVVVV fukkin lol Strep Vote fucked around with this message at 19:48 on May 15, 2014 |

This topic's catastrophic cratering is a shame because Lawrence Lessig is legitimately a dude with ideas worth funding and D&D is not a bad place to scout for money/talent/etc. for such a project. Too bad his hired help sucks at pitching it I guess.

The last time I donated to the guy who said he'd get the dirty money out of politics he turned around and became the first major-party presidential candidate in modern political history to reject public financing.rscott posted:Hi Democrats, please stop co-opting socialist holidays like May Day, you guys have your own stupid milquetoast labor day to pretend like you didn't gently caress over the working class in this country. This poo poo has next to nothing to do with labor anyways, the Democrats outspent the Republicans in 2008 and 2012. The parties aren't terribly different economically, if you actually widen your discourse even slightly further than the gun slit narrow Overton window currently perpetuated by the media. This too.

His first introduction to the entire company came when he sent out a blast e-mail asking if anyone had a red cape and goggles. This was for a post commenting on an xkcd cartoon about bloggers wearing, yes, red capes and goggles, which Brian somehow found among our employee population and photographed himself wearing. http://theamericanceo.com/2013/03/19/support-oddballs-in-your-company-culture/

How is this supposed to work. I've read the stuff and I don't get how it's supposed to actually function as a way to get money out of politics. It kind of seems like the people proposing it don't really understand why and how money is involved in politics.
