I think it's a valid thing to pay attention to, and your example supports that, doesn't contradict it. In the early part of the 2016 election, Clinton was considered a shoe in against Trump. But Trump excited his base h he filled stadiums - while the support for Clinton was much less enthusiastic. And, as we know all too well, Clinton lost.

So yes, seeing the kinds of crowds a candidate draws is one measure that's worth looking at. It's not the whole thing, for sure, especially when some candidates aren't above paying people to attend.

No worries - lots of options, it's easy to miss stuff.

It's already the. Under your profile settings, way towards the top.

Google news, NPR, a few other places more rarely. Not that I'm super prolific.

I'm not sure either of the bottom ones are possible to put on without some amazingly elastic material.

Spot on. You could do one for 2024 for MTG and Boebert, but sadly some people would be excited by the prospect.

Oh, God, I'd almost forgotten that name. In those days one of my employees came to work on Halloween dressed as a "Tea party crackpot." His clothes made to look like made out of china with a big crack down from the neck, then big fake tea bags all over and each had a nut job quote from tea party members. I think about a third of them were Bachmann's. Things like ''I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back" and ''Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.''

Okay, so how do we get this fixed? Any way to get admin attention? I think @Spaltovic@lemmy.world is probably correct about the cause.

That won't fix it, it's server side on .world.

Yeah, it's a server issue. See this post.

I was going to say that there isn't a dumber elected official, but then I remembered Boebert. Man, if someone is going to be that dumb, they should at least be nice, and either way they shouldn't be helping to run the country. Such a complete embarrassment.

Yeah, and this PSA doesn't work - at least it didn't for me. I think this comment is the actual cause, and why clearing cookies doesn't help.

There's a giant number of posts, but only a small number of bots responsible for them. When I see a post like that, I click on the bot's username, then click "block." Didn't have to do that very many times before those posts disappeared for me.
