I think you meant to respond to op, but I pretty much agree with what you wrote.

We can’t even get more progressives than moderates/centrists to the Democratic primaries so I’d be pretty surprised to see even half that show up for something radical.

I mean, it probably would’ve been ideal then but as usual, America was recovering from/embroiled in the last Conservative disasters (financial crisis, Afghanistan/Iraq.) And Obama had just burned a lot of political capital giving people healthcare.

Fair enough!

Never got around to that one, worth it?

My regular stream site started having issues tonight, so this was kind of miraculous timing! Hopefully one of these works!

Awesome, much appreciated!

Fair enough! Thanks!

So say I’m dumb and don’t know how to find a fork like that…

I cancelled prime when they first introduced ads. But the delivery fees without prime, damn. I think I’d pirate shows if I got prime but I’m pretty sure that just makes them think they should invest in fewer shows. And damned if, pre ads, prime didn’t have a lot of my favourites (boys, invincible, end of the expanse etc.)

What a ramble. I’m just torn.

Check at the state level. A few states have introduced ranked choice, your state may have someone in the mix trying to make it a thing where you live!

If people vote in the primaries for candidates who support ranked choice voting, then yes.

30 years seems reasonable. On an unrelated note, Audrey Hepburn died 31 years ago.

CS50 covers pointers, objects, classes etc and will give you a solid foundation. Fully recommend though, fair warning, it’s challenging. Tideman nearly crushed my soul.

Gotta love the “everyone I disagree with is a shill/bootlicker” playbook.

And my local mosque isn’t the sole representation for all Muslims, but if I falsely claimed they advocated rape, I’d be being pretty bigoted.

At least be consistent; you got annoyed when I pointed out that the articles you posted show that rape is absolutely not an Israeli government position. But this comment takes the opposite tack.

As you grow up, hopefully you’ll learn that reality is a thing and not just whatever suits the argument at hand.

Bye.

And to your larger point, you are welcome to create your own server or community and allow whomever to say whatever they’d like, regardless of how bigoted or incorrect they might be!

As many have said, this isn’t a fediverse problem, nor is it a suggestion to improve the fediverse, this is a you complaining about mods doing what the commubity expects of them.

Have a good night.

So if someone commits a crime, fair to accuse them of all crimes?

That part is still claiming you made a factual claim. And that part is still incorrect.

So, I noted that it is wildly inaccurate and far from a factual claim.

You can’t posit something reprehensible, a few paragraphs later decide you might be wrong and then be annoyed when people correct your original claim.

Well, you’re arguing that there’s some wider conspiracy etc. And in public discourse, ehhhhhh it’s more a very tricky line to walk.

But if you’re not talking in response to why this person has their comment removed, then it doesn’t seem particularly relevant.

It reminds me of when people are talking about the latest police killing of an unarmed Black man and a right winger comes in to talk about Black on Black violence statistics, not particularly relevant and it feels like they’re doing it to demonize the group in question.
