i dunno pick your poison:

1st amendment but militarized police and huge sentences and awful prison conditions

or ppl summoned for making jokes but justice system better in every other respect

Why do you think either necessarily requires the other, in either circumstance?

both-sider showed up, welcome, did you have something to contribute?

I'm pointing out a false dichotomy, why do we have to "pick our poison"? Can you explain why I should pick one? I don't want to take any poison. I want free speech and I want universal healthcare. I don't want one or the other; that's moronic. One does not preclude the other, so I want both.

They did, actually, I suggest you think about the comment a bit more.
