What's the best way of dealing with Maga hatred, white power, genocide denial and other things you see a Lemmy user espousing? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that's it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn't morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

Obviously. Guess you all shoulda came up with a better candidate so that he wouldn't have one a second time.

It's easy when Elon messed with the voting machines, as well as racially targeted voters registration lists being purged, and gerrymandering districts.

I didn't say it wasn't an issue. You stated it as fact, and I said it wasn't a fact. Because it's not.

Cause he said it. That is known as a "fact".

Still no proof that we won't be able to vote in the next election. Do you any proof of constitutional changes or laws that say that we won't be able to vote again in the next election? If not, then say you "think" we won't be able to vote again. Because it's your "opinion," not fact. Right now there are no laws that say we won't be able to vote in the next election.

My person. Trump has shown he doesn't care about laws, or the constitution. Your argument is that it has to be on the books before its a problem, it doesn't have to be a law. It's easy to make it so that you can cast a ballot and have not count, that removes your ability to vote. The fact that he mentioned it should have you FURIOUS. The fact that he said he was going to run for a 3rd term should make you ANGRY. The fact that he's ignoring the judiciary should have you out in the streets. Sitting there saying "well there's no laws" is a semantics argument.

LMAO

Cause he said it. That is known as a “fact”.

I'm not talking about someone saying something. I'm saying there is no proof that we won't be able to vote next election. You have still not shown any proof.

Let's save this conversation. then when voting time comes, will you apologize if you're allowed to vote? Or is it gonna be a "well we can vote because we made sure we stopped him from changing things" sorta thing? lol

Wanna bet some bitcoin on us being able to vote next election? I'm willing to bet. Are you?

People in north Korea can vote too, is that "democratic"?

[+] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's not the discussion. You said we wouldn't be able to vote in the next election. I asked for proof. You provided none, because there is no proof of that.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

As to your point, it's just what was said it doesn't matter because there are no laws. Show me the laws or the constitutional amendment.

I'm just matching your energy brah.

[+] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Show me the laws or the constitutional amendment.

There is no law or constitutional amendment that says we won't be able to vote in next election. And you have no proof that we won't be able to vote in next election.

I think we will be able to vote in the election just fine.

There is no law or constitutional amendment that says we won't be able to vote in next election. And you have no proof that we won't be able to vote in next election.

As if the felon cared about laws or the constitution, what you need to tell yourself to cope brah.

[–] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Again, you have no proof that we won't be able to vote next election. Because there is no proof that says that.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Again, you have no proof that we won't be able to vote next election. Because there is no proof that says that.

Again, you don't understand that the felon doesnt care about laws or the constitution. I'm sure you can vote next election, just like they do in russia and north Korea.

[–] DonaldJMusk@lemmy.today -5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’m sure you can vote next election, just like they do in russia and north Korea.

Again no proof. So are you just gonna refrain from voting next election then? Since you think it won't count. First you said you wouldn't be able. NOW you're saying it just won't count. So what are you gonna do about it?

Again you don't understand that that fascist, rapist, conman felon doesn't care about laws or the constitution, and your inability to comprehend "not voting" is the same as sham elections like russia or north Korea, is quite telling.

I will vote, because as of yet I don't live in a fascist dictatorship. I will defend my country from the fascist is what I will do.
