DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated……

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

    Oh yes, I forgot democracies can only have two candidates to choose from, both with the same foreign policy towards Israel. Do you want a democracy or not? If so, there’s got to be room for more parties and candidates.

      If you want democracy you want to end winner-takes-all elections and go for proportional representation, and you want ranked choice voting or equivalent.

      Attacking people for explaining the consequences of choices with the current terrible voting system doesn’t promote democracy

        Totally agree with your first point. But the US democratic system is barely democratic imo, and tactical voting simply reinforces the existing 2 party system. The only chance they have for meaningful policy change is breaking the two party monopoly.

        Edit: but that’s exactly what the Democrats and Republicans don’t want to happen.
