I’m sorry, that’s not the problem. The original complaint was that the media would NOT reach a conclusion. I am defending the refusal to jump to conclusions.

People can speculate, but saying “why didn’t the news diagnose the problem from the beginning?” is an asinine question.

Circumstantial evidence made it damn clear!

Jesus it’s like nobody has ever read a crime thriller in their life. This is like chapter 1 misdirection

Insults are fun and all, but nobody seems able to show me coherent evidence as to why there was definitive proof on day 1

I like how every time I see this identical picture it’s cropped slightly smaller so people can claim it’s a unique image

That’s cute and all. What evidence did you have on day 1?

The manifesto that we got the day of the shooting? Care to share that one with me? I’ve only seen the current one

Before we knew anything about him, it was just as plausible that he killed the CEO for authorizing payments for abortion. It wasn’t clear it had anything to do with wealth in the beginning

What happened in Michigan elections? I didn’t think it was a big shift

To clarify, the admins have updated their views in reaction to this week and user feedback:

Following a discussion in our team we want to clarify that we are no longer requesting moderators to remove content relating to jury nullification in the context of violent crimes when the crime in question already happened. We will still consider suggestions of jury nullification for crimes that have not (yet) happened as advocation for violence, which is violating our terms of service.

I mean, he has a very active Twitter account

So he believed in COVID and supported immigrants, which disqualified him for checks notes drug enforcement?

“My bad, guys. I promise not to try that dictator shit again, just please don’t remove me from office!”

Chelsea Manning? The one who Obama famously pardoned as a lame duck?

Quoting the Lemmy ToS is not trolling

Sorry, I must be talking about a different country. In the USA, I don’t think anyone ever claimed the left was the backbone of the democratic party

Is this you seething because Dems are trying to end subminimum wage or something?

Perfect is the enemy of good

Or you’re just a right wing shill… probably that

The min wage last went up under Dems. Yes, worker rights have expanded under Dems. Yes, Dems kneecapped themselves by taking a public option out of the ACA but at least they got super close, unlike the GOP, whose best claim to policy change on healthcare was that dramatic moment when McCain stopped them from repealing the ACA.

One party wants granny to die from pre-existing conditions, the other isn’t quite left enough for you.

Have you heard of the manosphere?

How?
