> We aren't going to see state or federal elections flooded with corporate votes.

What makes you so confident that things are going to change?

The title is perfectly fine. It's literally a Delaware bill. I don't know what world you're living in, but it's not the same one as me.

The title of the bill is AN ACT TO AMEND THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF SEAFORD RELATING TO THE CITY'S ABILITY TO AUTHORIZE ARTIFICIAL ENTITIES, LIMITED LIABILITY CORPORATIONS' PARTNERSHIPS AND TRUSTS TO VOTE IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS HELD IN SEAFORD. What's wrong with specificity?

"A city in Delaware proposes allowing corporations to vote in its municipal elections"?

The title as written implies the bill will allow corporations to vote in municipal, state, and federal elections held within the state of Delaware.

That is obviously not the case. Are we in the business of clickbait and fake news around these parts?

When it comes to pointing out governments further destroying of our value as voters, I truly don’t mind “clickbait”. It may be slightly inaccurate, but I’d much rather people wake up to something inaccurate and see the sorry state we’re in than not wake up at all.

Journalism is the act of journaling something, recording things that happen or happened as accurately and detailed as possible. When it comes to journalism I do not tolerate any sensationalizing, let alone outright faking.

People who "wake up" to sensational, clickbait, fake news "journalism" eventually learn to tune out, because most of us are too fucking god damn busy to be bothered with that literal bullshit.
