The New York Times is calling on Congress to abandon HR 1, and start over with a new election law bill. HR 1 has passed the House but is stalled in the Senate. The authors of the bill showed hostility toward minor party and independent voters, by making it virtually impossible for minor party presidential candidates to qualify for primary season matching funds, which are needed to overcome ballot access barriers. The editorial does not mention that aspect of the bill, but it suggests that none of the campaign finance provisions in HR 1 should be in any new bill. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.

Why are you obsessed with eating pets? I have no idea what your other string of gibberish letters even mean. You need help.
When it comes to some of Demo Rep’s abbreviations, Nom Pets means Nominating Petitions, PR means Proportional Representation, and I’m fairly sure APPV refers to the amendment powers of Article V of the Constitution. I’m not sure what TOTSOP means though, that’s actually a new one to me.
And no, the editors of NY Times are not communists, far from it, although I am surprised they’re not only calling for HR 1 to be abandoned, but are also calling for the permanent abandonment of the campaign finance section and thus indirectly its anti-minor party provisions as well. The NYT is usually quite hostile towards minor parties in the few instances they even mention us.
App v means approval voting. Totsop is totally separated powers (of branches of government). Demo Rep calls democrats communist and Republicans fascist and claims they are both totalitarian and about to start the apocalypse any day now. He also says third parties are just splitting the vote of one or the other. He hasn’t answered how people who are not communist or fascist would go about organizing a party that has nothing to do with hurting or helping either Democrats or Republicans though.
I don’t think NYT has changed its “mind” about third parties. They probably oppose that section for other reasons. Maybe they just want a bill that may have some chance of passing both houses of Congress and being signed into law this term? I admit I have not read their paywall editorial so idk.
I think the person who is calling demo rep a moron is probably aware by now what the abbreviations mean and is just being a smartass. I could be wrong. Demo rep frequently calls all sorts of people trolls and morons, so it’s probably just tit for tat.
More abbrevs and FAQ should be in *useful info* at top of BAN page – esp for NON-TROLL MORON newbees.

New York Times editors are indeed communists.
Why is so hard for MORON Demo Rep to type complete words and sentences?
The garbage comments on June 5, 2021 at 2:02 am and 2:25 pm come from Will Klatt.
It most likely came from the same troll who also posts as facts checker (cyberpig Paul).
Whether demo rep is a troll or a moron is a matter of legitimate question. But one thing for sure, he is quite full of himself. Abbreviations no one except him uses and few understand should be “useful info”? Get over yourself. Make yourself easily understood, or not. Be persuasive, or not. Either way it’s up to you, not others.
For NON-morons –
Fed offices – USA Reps and Sens.
State/local offices / ISSUES – ZERO USA control EXCEPT via USA Const Amdts – 14-2, 15, 19, 24, 26.

Thanks for fapping, demo rep.
In a narrowly divided Congress, omnibus legislation makes no sense unless one of the major parties is grand standing, which is what the Democrats are doing here.
In such an environment, legislative “packages” should be broken up into particular bills, and voted on separately, if partisan leaders are serious about actually passing anything.
HR 1 is now to Dems what 13th Amdt was to olde GOP in 1864-1865.
