Cool, but when you dismiss or ignore these very real concerns instead of just using verbiage that acknowledges and accepts it, then you lose voters because they perceive you as a liar.
And I meant that Bill was president while on the plane.
Who do you think is leftwing? Democrats? Like status quo Dems? Like the 2016 presidential candidate Hilary Clinton, who is STILL MARRIED to Bill Clinton? The Clinton’s who funded the DNC in 2016 in exchange for explicit support by the party during the primary? This is something ALL lefties are comfortable acknowledging and talking about and we definitely want “girls girl” Hilary Clinton to be in office as a rapist apologist?
Like exactly WHO on the left is bringing up these topics when saying how unacceptable the Clinton’s are in tbe party? What established politician? Or is it journalists and actual leftists and progressives?
That’s like saying establishment Dems care about Citizens United, or stopping officials from holding stocks, or the Panama Papers. It’s the wealthy versus the people and always has been.
We can call out Trump’s crimes without ignoring everyone else’s. It absolutely disgusts me to read the interference ya’ll are running for literal rapists. And that you think it’s acceptable because “Trump is running for office,” is insane. No.
Trump is running for president, yeah, but Clinton was actually the president when this happened. The court cases are literally ongoing.
Yeah I think Clinton’s current victims actually find these crimes quite relevant today.
Diddy hasn’t really been relevant in a decade, neither was Cosby, should we just ignore them too? Video of Cassie being beaten was forever ago, who cares? Cassie doesn’t need justice, right? The American public don’t deserve to know what’s been going on either, which btw is tbe entire moral basis for journalism and the idea of integrity.
Maybe if you were victim centered with crimes, you could see why it’s concerning there are so many horrible rapists in politics.
And I voted for Kamala. I actually think as a woman and a prosecutor who was exposed to these crimes, she is a great candidate for office with a lot of potential.
Lol quote the rest of that comment or link it because I don’t see it
I have already explicitly told you I believe it because Lemmy is full of men who have no problem with rape, which is pretty fucking common.
Like your position is laughable - I’m unhappy as a woman regarding rape conversations, and I’m only getting downvoted because I’m not “smiling” enough in my comments. I’m sorry I have a bad attitude about rapists. I should really be nicer to them like you.
Well, there are things called upvotes and downvotes. So yes I, as an individual, have that opinion. But Greater Lemmy downvoted me and didn’t upvote me, so clearly the sentiment on Lemmy as a group is that Bill Clinton’s Epstein trips and sexual assaults are cool but Trump’s aren’t.
Lol certainly don’t mention that Bill Clinton was on that plane either, or else you’ll see the Lemmy version of the literal same effect, even though neither that man nor his wife are running for office and criticizing them is valid and protected speech. I am currently being told in another thread that Clinton’s abuse of power and thus sexual abuse of Monica Lewinsky is “just as bad” as the consensual cheating relationship Newt engaged in at the time. Even though no, one involved abuse of power and one didn’t.
No one in this country is willing to be honest or have a backbone. It’s pathetic. How about we don’t stump for rapists at all, no matter their political affiliation.
What? 13 years ago is still years ago
Yes, there is proof that in 2016, Russian agents did that. I haven’t disputed that.
The reason I dispute the application of this knowledge to me is that its wrong. Like I’m a literal US voter with an Only Fans that connects to my US issued ID. It’s pretty clear I’m not Russian. And given how antitrump and for democracy I am, I’m not on the Trump pay roll either.
They didn’t create this discourse. The democrats DID IT. Like Clinton literally rode on Epstein’s plane. That’s his fault. They literally had a conflict of interest with their donations to the DNC and running as candidates. That’s genuine issues they did. Criticizing that, engaging in the definition of critical thinking, is part of the democratic process so we can stop it from happening again. That Republicans brought up the factual things the DNC did as issues is just normal campaigning. Abnormal campaigns were the disinformation the Russian bots put forward which later directly resulted in American deaths when it came to COVID.
Do you like, talk to real people irl about politics? Most people irl aren’t diehard DNC or RNC bootlickers. Most people are somewhere in between. That you refuse to tolerate other political opinions besides DNC bootlicking shows how “informed” you are alone.
It’s not reasonable, it’s just an easy talking point you go to when you get upset. Like it’s pretty thought terminating, right? And do you ask every commenter if they are a Russian spy, or are you not asking because you disagree with what I said? You claim I’m “interfering in elections,” - how? How am I, as a voter who is exercising her right to free speech to criticize the government, doing anything that would interfere in an election? Please elaborate how that’s not a baseless accusation.
Also, don’t you see how it’s a stretch to say that “Russian spies interfered in elections,” and then jump to claiming I’m somehow interfering in an election and ALSO then a Russian spy? Many other countries interfere in elections. What’s your evidence I’m Russian specifically and not, say, Chinese? Yet again showing this is based on reactionary rhetoric and not anything in reality or with evidence.
Also PS - I voted for Kamala. Criticizing Clinton is not the same as saying we shouldn’t vote for Kamala. Stop sucking Dem boots
I was just scrolling on Steam one day and saw it. Loved the music and the aesthetic and when it went on sale (back when the Steam sales were mindblowing and Newegg was also mindblowing), I got it. Love it so much but these days I use TEdit/a map editor to make pretty designs on my worlds. I have a lava swamp in hell, a drag stage/nightclub in hell, several glittering giant forests (snow, fairy, and halloween), an erupting volcano, an amusement park off a pier, lots of planets in space, and my mushroom surface biome is starry night themed.
Meanwhile my brother in law plays huge pvp campaigns with his friends on maps they mod together, and I had a friend who made those puzzle haunted house type maps. You can do so much in that game it’s wild.
The following day, the Democratic Party in Palm Beach filed suit to contest the vote count due to mistakes using the “butterfly” ballot. They argued that the structure of the butterfly ballot had caused many voters to mistakenly punch out the hole for Buchanan when they meant to vote for Gore. These, plus the ballots not read by the machines because the holes were not completely punched out, they claimed, created a significant “under vote.” They pointed to thousands of ballots having two holes punched out (often for Buchanan and Gore) and many more with holes only partially punched, held on by one corner—quickly labeled the “hanging chad.” They wanted those doing the manual recount to examine each ballot to determine the intention of the voter and to count the hanging chads. Later they successfully argued that other chads, including those only showing signs of being pushed—the “dimpled” and “pregnant” chads—also should be counted. Florida’s votes now appeared to depend on manual recounts and the nature of the chads. Counting chads was complicated and controversial, but it was nothing compared to the legal battles about to break.
The celebration lasted a day as the US Supreme Court issued a 7-to-2 decision in Bush v. Gore ordering a halt to all Florida recounts and calling for arguments to reconsider the Florida court’s decisions. The oral arguments showed that the Court was divided along ideological lines. Bush’s lawyers argued that the method of the recount was “arbitrary,” did “irreparable harm” to his candidacy, and violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Further, the Florida court’s decision violated Article 2 of the Constitution, which states that electors must be selected by a method chosen by the legislature. Gore’s lawyers responded that the recount did not injure Bush and it was best to let the people decide by counting all their votes. Most observers noted that the arguments had little chance of changing the views of the members of the Court. On December 12, the Supreme Court announced its controversial 5-to-4 decision that effectively ended all attempts to recount Florida votes and allowed Harris to ignore the already submitted recounted ballots. The decision determined that the vote certified by Harris previously (537) was correct and, above all, final. Gore conceded defeat on December 13, and five days later, George W. Bush was officially elected forty-third president of the United States as the electors cast their ballots: Bush received 271 electoral votes, one more than needed; Gore received 266.
Are you able to have reasoned discussion or are you only able to parrot reactionary speech when you get tilted?
Yeah, it’s kinda like we didn’t fall out of a coconut tree, and everything exists in context. It’s kinda like these past incidents inspired modern day people to abuse these loopholes. And btw, Gore losing the election killed 8 billion people due to climate change, so it was significantly worse that what Trump did in terms of impact.
And yet in terms of lives lost, the 2000 election going to Bush killed pretty much 8 billion people plus most megafauna. Climate change had the last laugh after all.
Throwing out ballots because of hanging chads is ABSOLUTELY an issue with election integrity. How much integrity can an election have if votes are thrown out arbitrarily so an unpopular candidate wins???
And that election would’ve changed things today. People drowning in Japan, Spain, North Carolina to these crazy floods. AMOC collapse has begun. We are so fucked and that was like, our chance. And Republicans and oil suckers decided to kill us all and Noah’s Ark us… in the 70s. When they were told this would happen.

IDs can be full of stupid bureaucracy to get. Eg if you are homeless, how will you get 2 pieces of mail with a home address? And in some places, IDs cost $50 or more. IDs are not the only way to identify someone - if you forget your ID before flying, there are alternative ways to identify you. The DMV has long wait times and IDs are often mailed to people, the delay could impact voting if done shortly before election day. And disabled people may not be able to wait in line at the DMV. The DMV has limited hours as well.
It’s more important to protect someone’s right to vote than to enforce an arbitrary ID rule.
? You don’t see how it’s relevant to current victims and current politics?
