Obama won pretty hard though despite the racism, there were more people excited to see a black president than there were racists (although obviously there as a lot of vocal racism as well).

If Kamala tells a convincing story, I could see it working well.

True

🙄 there are communist countries that are not Russia or China, just like there are capitalist countries that aren’t the United States.

Kicks in the door, guns blazing … official presidential business 😎

Just because someone has a personality disorder doesn’t mean they are incapable of doing their jobs. That’s an ableist assumption.

Don’t take it as an insult, if you keep being ableist that would be grounds for insults, but I’m honestly just letting you know.

Also, I am not really seeing a personal insult? Criticism of personal dissonance, yeah, but is that an insult?

How does one link a specific blocked comment in the mod log? I don’t see any way to do this?

PugJesus is like the Ur-Liberal (derogatory)

We are not restricting discussion (those are your words) because this is a life and death situation.

we are removing purely speculative and baseless assertions of fact, because this is a life and death situation.

So one, like I said, it’s not really a life and death situation. And secondly, in the immediate aftermath of an event, practically everything is speculation.

You are just lying about your class status, you already admitted to living a lifestyle that matches with the upper percent of people.

Yeah, it’s notable that computer programmers are also over-represented in this survey.

You said you are restricting discussion on whether the assassination was staged because it is a life or death situation. You have not provided compelling evidence that one form of speculation is more or less “life or death” than another.

Um, no. The SCOTUS ruling, Project 25 and The Fascism must be stopped before war breaks out. Besides, they already threatened to kill anyone opposed to it when they reach power.

Ban me.

How does this violate Lemmy’s content policy? To clarify, I am quoting a comment and asking for transparency, not reposting.

He said Monday’s decision — which gives presidents broad immunity from prosecution — is “vital” to ensure a president won’t have to “second guess, triple guess every decision they’re making in their official capacity.”

😬😬😬

Yeah, last thing I want is for the president to have to think through their decisions.

So you’re making moderation policy based on an assumption that people who have been exposed to the idea that the shooting may have been staged are more likely to incite violence than people who haven’t been? You don’t have source for that stance do you? One could argue that believing it is a failed assassination attempt would also incite people to violence. If a comment in particular calls for violence, thats one thing, but what you’re saying is not logical.

Speculating on an event that has already occured is not a “life or death situation” in the way spreading information that discourages the use of life-saving vaccines is.

I wonder if there isn’t a lack of people brewing outside the rich white man demographic… but more that they inhabit different social worlds so they aren’t seeing each other.

Love how this one is upvoted 😭 like they’re saying “yeah 😀”

I have not seen that episode ☹️

“widely speculated” … like I said, I don’t think it was staged, but it’s clear that most of what is being stated the day after this event is speculation.
