Act is the party that represents the idea that regulation messes with a system, and the best system has almost no regulation. Any tampering causes unintended consequences so we shouldn't tamper. Which is silly, and I believe the only reason they support the idea is because they benefit from it.

I have issues with this specific policy of TPM but I wouldn’t touch ACT with a 10 foot pole if my life was on the line.

Yep this is pretty much my position. There are definitely issues with the details of this proposal. In general, I like the idea of steps towards abolition of prisons (learning from each step and adjusting expectations as we go). But I can't imagine a world where I'd vote for Act. Their views are fundamentally against my lived values.
