The proposal is part of Sanders' broader plan for police reform.

Wait, they used WOODY HARRELSON as a template? And I'm not sure why facial recognition is the focus here, when I feel that the end of providing military equipment to police forces is much more impactful a change.

    The party voters are barely able to keep the existing party running. You expect them to spin up a new one?

    I started my adult political life in the Green Party, then in the progressive grassroots of the Democratic Party, which is to say that I absolutely have to cede you that point.

    Still, one can dream. How fine it would be to have a party whose leadership actually cared about regular people and their earthly needs, rather than operating as a front for corporatocratic kabuki theater.
