  There are much easier ways to get a lifetime of death threats.

    But, would it be worth it?

      Yea, I’d still volunteer. Honestly, serving on a jury judging Trump you’d be contributing to the preservation of democracy in a more significant way than pretty much anyone else.

      So uh… for managed democracy and super earth!

        Those feelings are the sort of thing that would get you disqualified from the jury.

      I’d be right there with you. ✊

  First, wow. Rent free and all that.

  Second, I don’t want to be on anyone’s jury. And if I were selected for a jury, the government is going to have to work damn hard to get me to convict anyone.

  I’ve been rejected from a jury pool before. Poor choice by the legal defender because of their own presumptions about me.

    I feel like saying “I do not believe in convicting anyone” is a good way to not be on a jury. Otherwise, I hear you can just mention the magic words “jury nullification” and get kicked out at roughly Lightspeed.

      “I’m a prison abolitionist” or “I support the prisoners union” work wonders as well. If you go far enough left it’s harder to stay on a jury than get kicked off
