I think the Proposal is aimed at the 'Machine Trading', where hundreds of transactions per second occur.

"Throughout the generations, there have been world wars, depressions, recessions and financial market implosions, but this is the first market to be whipsawed by machines. What’s driving the intensity is algorithms which puts wealth preservation at stake as retirement funds compete against quant traders."

Yes it is. Billions of high speed trades occur while we sleep.

Even $.10/trade fee would raise billions.

Ask yourself 'Who benefits by CHEAP LABOR?'.

Is it the Capitalists?
Or is it the American Worker?

You don't have to be a Political Scientist to figure this out.

(If the millions and millions of Third World Labor could Vote, I would concede the Democrats are on to something. ... unfortunately, that is NOT the case)

So now your claim is that Democrats are the ones pushing for Right To Work states and a low minimum wage?

I would need to see evidence that black people refused to vote, rather than were prevented from voting. https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/26/us/supreme-court-ruling.html

As for this being the Bernie court, Sanders was mathematically eliminated from the nomination in March of 2016, and refused to concede until July, all the time, calling the democratic primary rigged. His stupid supporters attended the Democratic convention and received a ridiculous amount of air time with their mouths taped. As if a Berner ever shut up for one minute. While Bernie sat there looking like he had sucked a lemon. Bernie tarnished the entire primary and till this day, many of his followers consider Hillary win illegitimate , as does Sanders himself. He is and has been poison to both the democratic process, and the Democratic party. Without Bernie, Hillary wins in 2016. Without Comey, she wins. It was close enough where any one factor could have made the difference, and Bernie is without a doubt one of the biggest ones.

In fact, Bernie began the whole "rigged" thing, which Trump happily picked up.

Sanders did exactly as I stated in my previous post, and as you describe here.

Blue states do not suppress voters. Nor did the swing states that trump won. Blaming a lack of interest by the youth/black vote on 'suppression' doesn't pass muster.

Hillary's error was to believe that she would inspire 'Obama like' turnout from the black voters.

Clearly, she was wrong.

I'll get back with you on this later Althea. Interesting conversation, and I want to delve, but I am in the middle of something.
