You’re literally the only one here cheering.

If we’re trying to avoid WWIII, yes. It sucks and is unfair, but the responsible choice isn’t always the fair choice.

They think they get to wipe their hands of it because they “didn’t participate”, refusing to concede that said choice still counts as their participation. Through ignorance, cruelty, and/or privilege, they’ll blame everyone else for the state of the world while refusing to do their part.

Bummer :/

Surprisingly relevant to me as yesterday I ran myself over with my tank in Factorio for the first time ever XD

If it’s a site you use often, right-click and “block element” is your friend. Might be able to sus out a universal block as well if you dig around the different elements there.

The notion that he cares about anyone other than himself is laughable. He has nothing to gain from the party if he’s not in office anymore, and he’ll burn it all down before he gets dragged out.

It was luck that last time he had no fucking clue what he was doing. He still doesn’t, but this time he’s listening to people that see how useful he is in their goals to upend the entire country.

Care to list some of the others? I could use some contextualization, cause this feels pretty fucking bad.

What is there to jeopardize? As long as he has the office, the dumbasses who helped him can’t do shit once they realize their massive mistake. What are they gonna do? Not vote for him again? If he shockingly doesn’t fuck with current term limits and elections, he’s not up for election again. If he predictably does, their vote is meaningless since he’s not going to leave the remotest chance things don’t go his way.

I’ve gotten multiple bans here for voting “wrong”. Not to say it’s not dumb on reddit, but Lemmy has it’s issues with disproportionate bans, too.

A Lemperor

Probably why they said “urges” instead of “instructs”.

resulted in thousands of preventable deaths

Millions, and it’s still climbing thanks in large part to his decision to politicize public health.

I read it as " Trump, Chicken Fucker".

But America is so beholden to these idiots that it doesn’t even matter to anyone.

That’s not calling out hypocrisy. That’s saying people should care.

There are lots of things they do that’re scandalous. That’s not one of them. There’s already enough puritanical bullshit fucking up the US. It’s about time some of it were left in the past.

Ah, ok. I see that now. That sucks.

Doesn’t this change the meaning of the statement so much that it’s no longer true that every citizen of age who is a resident is eligible to vote?

I don’t see how it would, but maybe I’m not seeing what you’re seeing. The eligibility of the people in the article did not change. “Only” vs “Every” still includes the same group of people.

What did change was the explicit exclusion of people outside of those qualifiers. This could potentially make challenging votes of “questionable” voters that much more impactful or difficult to defend against, and maybe make adjusting the existing qualifiers harder (the only one I can really think of is age), but that depends on WI’s amendment process, which I don’t know.

Interesting. Thanks!
