You know Biden is not part of the House and the House is run by Republicans, right?

Hey, a permaban is always on the table. ;)

I find it’s about 70/30 when it comes to temp bans. 7/10 I get PMs of “sorry, I’ll do better” and then 3/10 it’s… well… (note, this was a different user)

Yup, yup. Fixing elections is a tall order, but if freakin’ ALASKA can get ranked choice, why not everyone?

Only posting bad news about one person is trolling. They weren’t here to engage honestly.

Oh, yeah, this guy was permabanned across the whole instance, not just Politics.

Biden doesn’t have enough slips to merit the number of negative posts, and the absence of anything positive indicates he was only here to stir shit up.

It IS possible to mention that Biden’s numbers are improving (they are) or that the (Murdoch owned) WSJ article was bullshit:

We don’t accept articles from Fox News or Newsmax for the same reason, it’s clear they have an axe to grind.

Selecting to post all negative material, all the time, may not be the exact same axe, but’s definitely in same tool shed.

Nah, you can post purely factual things that take no side. Or, alternately, post things about other people and things besides Trump. :)

There is an explicit call out for good faith posting, but it’s attached to the Civility rule which entirely too many people ignore. :(

I see it like this, and naturally, I’m biased…

Today I made three threads about court case updates. 1 about the Georgia case, 2 about Florida, because it was new and newsworthy.

If I did a deep dive on Cannon and posted every single misdeed she’s done since becoming a judge, people in the group would be right to go “Hey… um… you OK? Working through some issues?”

If I did it day, after, day, after day and then posted “Yeah, I’m only interested in bad things.” Someone would be right to tell me to go touch grass.

Coming out and saying “sure there’s some good things, but I’m only interested in bad things” means he’s disingenous in his posting. As I mentioned in another comment, we don’t allow Fox or Newsmax or OANN because it’s clear they have an agenda.

Openly admitting that agenda becomes actionable.

Removed, the “r-word” and variants is considered a slur around here. Correct it and PM me, I’ll restore it.

Substack blogs don’t meet our posting requirements. Removed.

The 1/6 case still has a shot assuming the Supreme Court doesn’t outright say he has immunity, that’s the only thing holding it up.

Of course, Cannon is going to rule in Florida if Jack Smith has the right to actually, as Special Prosecutor, you know, prosecute the Florida case. I could see the Trump lawyers spinning that around and say “Well, if he can’t prosecute one case, then he can’t prosecute the other either.”

At which point somebody owes Bill Clinton a giant apology over the whole Kenneth Starr bullshit.

A lot of it is low population and lots of square miles.

Take my state for example… We voted for Biden, but if you check it county by county:

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a7eb103a-a08b-45f3-8e03-571687940894.png

You’d be right to go "Well, wait, how does that work?

See those 3 giant counties in the lower right hand corner? That’s Lake, Harney, and Malheur county from left to right.

Here’s how they voted in 2020:

Lake
Biden - 792 - 18.15%
Trump - 3,470 - 79.53%

Harney
Biden - 894 - 19.95%
Trump - 3,475 - 77.55%

Malheur
Biden - 3,260 - 27.62%
Trump - 8,187 - 69.36%

There’s more cattle than people down there, of course it goes Red.

Now if you look at the top of the map, you’ll see a sliver of dark blue, that’s Multnomah County, i.e. where most of the people live.

Biden - 367,249 - 79.21%
Trump - 82,995 - 17.90%

It really doesn’t matter how many square miles turn red, it’s the people who do the voting.

A new poll shows trouble for Biden with young voters, especially among voters of color (www.npr.org)

It found that just one-third of all young Americans said they would back Biden if the election was held at the time the survey was conducted. The poll also reflects a virtual tie in the race. Biden leads former President Donald Trump by just two points, and 34% of respondents are currently backing a third-party candidate or said...

Continually sharing only bad news, and admitting that’s your purpose, is not good faith engagement and is, in fact, trolling.

Temp banned. 30 days.

Judge Cannon expands hearing on Trump’s request to declare special counsel’s appointment invalid | CNN Politics (www.cnn.com)

“The issue, now before Cannon in the Southern District of Florida federal court, is likely to remain in the political debate at least until Cannon holds a hearing on the legal power of the special counsel to prosecute a defendant, on June 21.”
