do they know we automatically lose Nevada, Georgia and Wisconsin if we lose Biden/Harris?

I can't fathom the circular firing squad mentality at work here.

why do you only censor one side of the argument? I didn't start the shit talk.
Removing what's reported.
"the nazis were just doing their jobs man."
More like "I don't have time to read every comment in every thread, reports float to the top."
the job is to MODERATE.
Not to censor posts based on who's sensitive to critique. I'm not asking you to look into every thread forensically but when you can see the one who REPEATEDLY reports the post being offensive RIGHT ABOVE it doesn't take sherlock fucking holmes to realize the system is being abused by one side.
he used you to do his bitchwork - what I'd consider an abuse of the reporting system. apparently abusive behavior is fine.
If you feel incensed, report them, don't engage them.
I should say too, looking at your mod log:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=1366329
You have removable violations top to bottom.
"Get fucked"
"you silly ass. you must be even dumber than I first imagined."
"Why don't you huff some fucking reality and stop acting like a child having a tantrum? Whining coward."
"dumbass"
"sick racist fucks like you"
"Brightlights like you"
"kiddo."
"assholes, like you"
If we were to put a picture on violations of the civility rule, it would be you. This is the exact sort of engagement with other users that is forbidden.
yeah, if you only look at one side of every argument you're bound to come to specious conclusions.
way to back up my entire point.
You're the one repeatedly throwing personal insults in violation of the civility rule. You've been warned. Next time it will be a temp ban.
I can tell you're smart enough to make your point without attacking the other users, do that and we're golden.
if you'd read the threads instead of just nuking every post reported to you you'd find I respond to insulting people with the only thing they seem to understand. then they turn around and report the people they insulted when they have the temerity to speak back. right on time, you come in and when someone disagrees with the lazy way you moderate, you threaten bans.
you're the worst kind of moderator. probably a wretched human being too.
It doesn't matter what you think they understand, it's against our Civility guidelines.
You've been warned, that's a temp ban.
There are no rules preventing Democrats from changing their nominee. The Heritage Foundation is full of shit and you're agreeing with them because you like their position (keep Biden).
There aren't rules against changing a nominee. There are rules about being on state ballots for the presidential election, and those rules vary from state to state.
Just because you were not aware of that does not make it untrue.
Yes, and none of them are a problem because the dates haven't passed yet and the parties choose their nominees. Find an actual law that makes nominating someone else a problem, don't just repeat something you heard on social media.
The bogus right-wing legal battle to keep Joe Biden on the ballot
