People win suits against the police all the time. It’s just the police rarely face consequences for it, especially as an institution.

As long as there is an appeals process. And it seems there was.

Nothing. But a good portion of the electorate did get to learn about the power of marketing and the difference between liberalism and socialism

You’re being pedantic. The dominant ideology of the Democratic party is neoliberalism. Democrats continued neoliberal policies following Reagan, like NAFTA and others. They will consistently defer to the market based solutions and “free enterprise” as opposed to actual socialism. The dominant political user on these platforms (especially .world) are capital D Democrats and liberals. You see this on Reddit a lot in /r/neoliberal.

This user likely isn’t wrong when using this description as a generalization.

^ This is a decently accurate account of how neoliberalism grew to become the dominant economic ideology in the US and Western Europe. Though it was really just a description of Reaganism and Thatcherism at first. Read David Harvey if you disagree.

Do you remember 9/11? The war in Iraq? Are you aware of what happened with the assassination attempt against Reagan? Do you remember how those affected the approval ratings of politicians?

You don’t even necessarily have to flip people. You just have to get them to come out and mobilize.

It’s not a sure thing, but a lot of y’all are coming across as coping. Political violence has often united this country around figures and policies.

Isn’t Biden already polling poorly?

An antended at the rally and the shooter were killed per the AP

It’s incredible people are down voting you because they don’t like this thought. Y’all know how America is right? If this is all real, his approval numbers likely grow and his base gets fired up. Reagan got a bump back in the day.

You don’t have to like that, but it’s not misinformation to speculate on how this plays out. These images will be used for the rest of this race.

Yeah because language barriers, cultural differences, and time zones don’t matter

Looks like I confused this comm with the politics comm, but considering this comm is following the decision of that one a week later, I think the reasoning stands:

Of course it isn’t. Your goal is to stifle criticism of Biden from the left.

We know this started because a (presumably, leftist) user stated they only care to share negative content of Biden and were banned.

How is one individual possibly manipulating the community if we’re all reading it, agreeing, and upvoting?

Just shelve the paternalism and focus on spam and other areas of rightful moderation.

If the articles are news, they’re news. End of.

Let’s not pretend like this comm isn’t overrun with accounts that (rightfully) post articles that are only critical of conservative policies and politicians. Are you going to ban them for not also posting critical of liberals? Must they criticize leftists?

This will be entirely used in a one sided way to censor criticism of Biden. I think that’s obvious.
