Obviously not but wtf are they gonna do about it? They can't reign in a senile clown. As if they're gonna do anything California or New York gives a fuck about at this point.
What are they going to do?
"Corporations are people as per already established rulings."
"Political contributions are considered speech as per already established rulings."
"Hawaii is taking away poor poor corporations right to free speech under the first amendment, therefore it's unconstitutional and will be made null and void. Have fun shoveling money at your chosen candidates corporations! Don't forget my paycheck!"

Not sure what the downvotes are for unless they just don't like having a video as a response.
I'm a bit confused on the language because he says the state the corporation was created in give them their rights, so wouldn't any corporation not from that state be able to spend anyway?
I didn't down vote, but I really would prefer text
My thinking is that any major corporation isn’t willing to give up business in an entire state but that’s a great question and if someone has a more definitive answer I’d love to hear it.
I believe you are correct. This is why as many states as possible need to follow suit.
I’m not a defeatist. I called you out for spamming, which you were, cause a mod deleted your spam and the comments where you were insulting me and others.
Your modlog is public. If you lie about it, everyone can see that you lied.
Oh! I’m not blocked!
Yeah, there’s only like three hundred people here and we all know each other.
It’s why I like this place, it’s small and tight-knit, which means people are usually incentivized to be nice to each other.
Usually.
Right there with you, I can be harsh and was to them, but that’s only after I think it’s been demonstrated they don’t care about anything than jamming their singular point down everyone’s throat just like that library full of books that ain’t been colored yet upthread
Even now, I’m showing them patience and grace. I wish they’d let me alone though.
I’m fucking watching you dude, a far more patient person than I and I laud you for it
I am the tiredest of all the ladies.
And I’m telling tech support while trying to keep this guy from being outright banned.
Sorry, I went and took the low road but they’re too combative
Far from me to tell you what to do, but you do owe yourself some grace and you’ve done far more than your fair share here. If they are determined to act the way they do and won’t listen to anyone they probably should be banned for the community
Edit: but to be clear I respect the fuck out of your grit
Thanks. You’re a real one too.
Yeah, I didn’t follow you around. Lemmy is just small.
Hi, this is who you’re talking to. I’m actually quite concerned with why you’re being so mean to me.
Look, your head is small and there’s not enough room in here for me and all my things. I know there’s no rent and such, but I hope it’s okay if I move out. Living in your head rent-free just isn’t fun.
You’re not going to save American democracy by calling other leftists assholes.
Look, I haven’t blocked anybody on Lemmy and I’m not about to start now.
Just, be good, please? Just follow the rules, be civil, and participate with a good heart in this space the same as the rest of us?
I’ve said not one mean thing about you, never called you a swear and never said anything with an ill intent. None of my comments were removed cause they followed the rules. Meanwhile, the mods in /c/politics are quite frustrated with you, because you kept on breaking rule three, which is to be kind and civil. It’s all in your modlog.
I get that you’re in Canada, judging by your username and your instance, but I’m not sure you get how truly bad it is down here. The last thing we need is for someone swearing at us and saying mean things. We’re trying to survive, we’re trying to thrive, and we’re doing our best with the limited resources and power we’ve got.
Stop calling people like me assholes, simply because we point out that you’re breaking community rules.
Canconda said, before deleting their comment:
This is true.
Yup. I accidentally hit enter and knew you would accuse me of a ninja edit if I finished the comment.
You said something true and you said it without lashing out and you only said it once.
Keep doing that.
One day, you might meet me. When that day comes, if that day comes, I hope you are nicer in real life than you are online.
IRL I would ignore you and walk away. You're antagonizing me and a shitty person for doing so.
If me being polite to you is causing you to be mean to me, that’s not my problem.
Just put the personal attacks away on the internet, yeah?
I’m not gonna be able to reply to this cause I have a gig tonight, between the driving, the setup, the stage time, and the collapsing in a heap afterward.
Be good. You can do it.
Look, if taking the blame for this will get you to shape up and stop dealing insults and anger and such, I will gladly enter a guilty plea, but I do worry about you.
Please be good.
Your reply in "Hawaii just entirely removed corporations' power to spend money in politics. This could be a game changer for US democracy." was removed as personal attacks (rule d)2). Please don't chase such ego-matching lines of conversation under upliftingnews.
