what if you are only granted 1 downvote per 2 upvotes you assign-- this would have a triple effect of promoting a more positive site-wide image and make downvotes twice as meaningful while also preventing abusive brigading of users-- just a thought- is the idea even feasibly applicable?

incidentally (or not) this underlines a deliberate function of trump's negotiation strategy-- to promote uncertainty which protects his position from precise scrutiny. this comes up in hypernormalisation a british docu as a deliberate part of putin's strategy- to keep your opponents always guessing.. its a form of obfuscation that we see in every day life when it comes to news media, social media, and so on- its a very common trick today and i think its as important as ever to get a handle on the material realities of the world under the cover of all this smoke.

are mods privy to this behavior and are there any tools at their disposal to combat bad faith 'brigading' as such?

your takeaway is a lot different from mine: here i'm thinking, how useless must this this katie whittington be.. LOL 9+k votes (total) between them. 14 percent of the district voted in this special election. tell us again how its IMPOSSIBLE kamala lost her swing states in the general presidential election.

my guy looks a little like mona lisa with similar ambiguity of expression. no matter where you stand in the room, he thinks you're palestinian.

doesn't that make their releasing it as open-source even more of a gift? :P

just saw that clip today.. this guy is exactly what you expect of the dnc- they're signalling they haven't learned a thing. hope democrats are looking forward to jd vance and co.

"unexpected" is a curious qualifier here. i hope they don't call it unexpected next year when its even warmer.

"paper launch" refers to a shortage of cards available on release-- many who waited in line left with purchase vouchers instead of hardware.

article doesn't mention who calls it that or who coined the term.
