I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished. Shouldn't that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside of Obamacare getting passed which didnt go far enough it seems like they didn't really do much with all that power. Are there other important accomplishments from this time that didn't get the news they deserved? It seems like the voters have done their job in the past to elect people to fix things and yet we are still here begging people to vote to fix issues like abortion rights.

Yea, but propublica has money to hire lawyers and can actually take companies to court over it.

Are you prepared to shell out potentially 10's of thousands of dollars to actually defend your license? That's my biggest question in this, because if not it really is a waste of time and effort.

Well if the license is flagrantly ignored I'm sure Creative Commons would probably have something to say about it.

Having said that, I meant for you to also go to the top of that link conversation to read everything that's been discussed, including my answer to the question you just asked.

Also, we're really derailing the topic of the post.

I did, but you never really answer the question, are you financially prepared and willing to actually defend your license in court?

And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don't need all those "~"

Look, it makes them happy, it's free, and it doesn't cost you anything. It just kinda doesn't seem like a big deal.

I should start posting ads and sponsors as my signatures with every comment. This is totally not the start of something awful. It makes me happy, it's free and doesn't cost anyone else anything.

Next I'm gonna post an image ad and randomise it. Maybe code bots to upvote it to the top. Ayy, you're on to something. 🤔

I did, both in the link that I originally gave you, as well as replying to your comment directly.

And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don’t need all those “~”

That's a problem with your mobile client, you'll need to speak to the devs of your client about that.

It's not supporting subscript and superscript fonts correctly, per Lemmy's help page on formatting comments. Also discussed in that original link I gave you.

If we could stop derailing the current topic?

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
