Unenforceable wish: no limit on downvotes, but people should have to EXPLAIN them. I often learn more from opposing opinions than from statements of agreement. If I say something unpopular, I want to know WHY it’s so widely disliked. Maybe I’m unaware of something important.
All this extended conversation about all the downvotes and not a single person responded to the reason I gave for downvoting right up there. Merrick Garland’s DOJ absolutely does not care about politics, and the implication that this guilty plea has to do with the Biden Admin wanting to influence the election in November is fictional.
Merrick Garland and his DOJ are absolutely not taking marching orders from the Whitehouse. Garland also doesn’t give two shits about politics. Dude’s rigidly ethical
You’re right, the President should basically do nothing in the year before an election. Everything must be accomplished in the first three years, then we take a break.
Biden pouring on the left wing charm. I agree with the call. The timing is definitely timed.
why so much downvote…
This is right, right thing to do and the motive called out is likely true…
If you disagree, please state your reasoning.
Lemmy dogpiles much more than reddit ever does. All one can do is upvote but it’s moot.
Downvotes should max out at 5.

I’m pretty sure that sometimes it’s a result of how the voter feels. Other times i’m not so convinced it’s humans voting.

…because we weren’t responding to you?
As of now 19 folks responded with upvotes. The lack of comments is because you nailed it and nothing else needed to be said.
Forced troll feeding. Brilliant idea…
lol good point. I’m a genius!
Just saw your edit…
…but I did explain…
…so I’m confused…
It’s ironic because thoughtful criticism is helpful. The “tell me why I’m wrong” bit is a remark meant for others, not you.

I guess a lot of people just got feelz about this one lol

Edit: (Assuming POTUS was even involved)
