i don’t know, i feel much better, and those in power now hire more security and canceled plans, which is a good indication they are scared. also talk of assassination is getting normalized. the tone has defenatly changed

he actually didn’t dodge anything, nor did he make a good point.

he stated that morals and right and wrong are immutable/unchanging.

so Charlie is now trapped to make a choice,

A. he’s wrong and morality is dependent on the situation, and so his whole platform regarding how he treats minorities has no justification.

B. he’s wrong and his god purposely demanded atrocities, and was wrong in the past, and is fallible, in which case his whole platform can’t be considered moral based on the teachings of his god.

so his answer is he still didn’t like it, which is him admitting defeat but refusing to decide in which way he believes his god is wrong

no one questioned his RIGHT to say anything.

you can’t question someone’s feelings over what he said. so your quote is less then meaningless here

are the farmers in dire straits, or are independent farmers in dire straights?

i make the distinction because of the purpose is to make the rich, richer, then this is a feature, not a bug for republicans

you want to get progressive action done? your primary goal is changing the democrats. you want to change the democrats away from neo liberalsm? you need leverage. you want leverage? the only leverage anyone has is their vote. but its not leverage if you don’t actually make your vote conditional.

“comon, just one more right wing candidate, just one more republican created bill” forever and forever until the end of time.

that may be a speech you made, but we look behind you and find neoliberals working for the wealthy with absolutely no intention in following any of that up. of course we were not going to stand behind you.

you get to choose one, and only one:

the progressive voting block don’t deserve a candidate because they are too few to matter.

or

the progressive voting block not voting against their interest is why the democrats lost the election.

you can’t have both.

if you actually believe that, you would be demanding the dnc to reach across their own damn aisle tword the progressives, funny that you always demand the opposite.

are the democrats opposed to republicans if they are willing to give away their base to teach the progressives a lesson? “vote blue no matter who, even against your interest.”

if that were true, Harris would have more of the vote.

if this is not about appearing on the all feeds then why would you care if you are being vote brigaded? if you have followers of your content then the fact that all your pages are getting down votes means little other then your content is unpopular.

you do have direct control over if your content can show up on the all federated page. but i understand that may not be viable because you need the audience to have the community. but vote manipulation is a clear race to the bottom to reddit 2.0.

Literally the fediverse lives or dies by the votes of its participants, which you do not have because you don’t allow participation.

without the participation you are fundamentally advertising the content you would have as your voice, and using false votes to ensure that unpopular content is viewed by the fediverse at large. that is why i said you were an ad agency, because you are effectively filling the same roll for Breightbart or fox news. if you are not being paid to do so… i don’t know what to tell you, because the advertisers got paid.

wait wait wait…. let me get this straight…

you don’t allow discussions on your content… you regularly post inflammatory and regressive news articles from alt right rags…. Want to appear on the front page so you admit to vote manipulation to force your content where it is not wanted… because you complain that you should not be down voted, nor defederated because your message should be forced out there…

am i getting this right?

so you are an advertisement agency for right wing lemmy and your content are ads then?

you mean… there are limits, because your employment is not decided by the government (“directly”).

i honestly don’t care, i am celebrating either way.

we all were. i got the feed of his uncensored murder basically live, and from all media all at once.

did you ask?

i mean, you don’t really remove their infestation, you just manage the damage.

unless you use it as a overgeneral brush, and fill it with only minorities, and use it as a short hand for black people like it’s used in this context. are you a native english speaker?

dog whistles specifically use words with a cover meaning and the group agrees to internally change its meaning.

a dog whistle has nothing to do with the facts but a shared agreement between people in the know as to its hidden meaning.

i am saying that the time to act is now. unless you want to wait until the genocide starts. it sounded flippant because it was.
