I live in the US and have never been able to get the ad-free version to work. Peacock is the only service I outright refuse to use at this point.

LOL. I wonder why you might not mind that right-wing media is involved.
>but for the underlying curb on free speech they include
Do what now?

LOL. Now that you've called me an idiot, I'll definitely vote in favor of it. You've truly made a convincing argument. Nice job!

Nothing is unbiased. I'm saying there's already a tool in place to stop a politician from being in office.

I'm not entirely sure why you would think this is a gotcha. I literally said I was influenced by the fact that Sinclair is doing this much to influence the vote on this issue.

There are plenty of sources in this thread and many others on this topic highlighting why people are against this specific measure. It's weird that you're acting like they're not here.
>it genuinely seems like the only opposition over this stems from the fact that Sinclair supports it
I was initially for the measure and sort of jumped on the fence about it because of Sinclair's support. I commented on it in this sub and a person pretending to be a progressive tried to convince me that it's a good idea. That was enough for me. If the alt-right media is pushing for it and they're using those sorts of tactics to get their way, then I'm fully out.

>Also, they prevent bad politicians from becoming lifelong politicians.
Voting does this too.
>Why not give it a shot for a decade and see what happens?
The folks trying to get power don't like giving it up once they have it.

This is where we always go. They've never tried to upsell us on anything and did good work on my Mini when I had it.

Reply to comment by mattfouse in As Sinclair owner funds term limits push in Baltimore, his station is a willing megaphone by GovernorOfReddit
"Should I vote for the measure that's more likely to result in candidates I don't like winning?"
This seems like a pretty straightforward "no" to me.
That's not exactly what I was getting at though. By "the wrong people" I'm talking about people that don't accurately represent an area.
If there are a lot of people from an area voting, then it's more difficult for bad actors to win elections. This is why I fully support term limits for higher levels of government. Until I had these conversations, I was mostly on the fence about it for local elections.
At the end of the day, if few people from an area vote in an election (as is typical for most local elections), then it's easier for bad actors to win.

The issue is fairly complicated. In major elections with wide media coverage, term limits are great. In small local elections where only a tiny percentage of the population can get someone elected, term limits can shift power to the wrong groups.

Sort of. There is a new mystery each week, but you get some spoilers about it in the first few minutes. Then you watch the main character wander through the story putting together clues. Some of the stories play out as expected while there are little twists and turns in them that add context. It's a pretty fun premise.
