I too will step alongside chubby man of the people, Brony Boyko. Edit: wait a minute. You're not using your social media expertise to social engineer us, are you? Caedite eos fucked around with this message at 14:35 on May 15, 2014 |

I'm sorry I was interested in this project until some geek marketing shill came around pushing it. Goons are a pretty easy demographic to understand and if you can't get them right you're not going to get anyone more complex right either.

And honestly, if I was in the room when names were being considered, I'd have raised hell. Reminder that this fool doesn't even know what May Day is or that what he's shilling for is actually kind of named after it

Good premise, two quick questions: 1) What's your favorite pony? 2) Which happens first: I smell you approaching or my sixth sense goes off to remove any young children from the area?

I'm going to be totally up front here. If you had come here and made a thread about MayOne with a focus on discussing the topic of money in politics and not on soliciting money, the response would've been a lot better. It'd probably have made for a good thread on the topic, and one that we haven't explicitly had in a while because a lot of posters here assume everyone already knows money in politics is out of hand. Anyways, if I were coming up with "a crazy-rear end plan that'd actually help with convincing Americans to cough up $5M in 30 days in June", it'd probably revolve around making singers or movie stars eat copious amounts of eggs to be perfectly honest. Maybe Mark Wahlberg, he seems like a swell person. Mo_Steel fucked around with this message at 16:03 on May 15, 2014 |

No amount of "cleverness" is going to crowdsource around the gerrymandering that makes flipping the House an impossibility absent some drastic political upheaval in the next six months, and that alone is going to render each and every one of the five bills (excuse me, three bills, a website, and a blog post) on reform.to a dead letter in the 114th. Even if they weren't, the reform.to quintet is still silly because "cleverness" is not going to end-around the majority of SCOTUS, where the parts that actually have any bite (the clean elections provisions establishing a quasi-public election system based on opt-in matching funds) would likely be be held unconstitutional under Davis and McComish.

You can probably do it as long as the public system establishes a floor instead of a ceiling, like giving challengers franking privileges and equal financing for everyone on the ballot. But that might actually unseat incumbents
