No, the world remains fucked up in either case.

"these two reps" is not the party. The party is a corporate entity. The party is fine with it.

We are not Dem voters

They actively courted the likes of Dick Cheney. They are perfectly fine with what's happening right now

Throw batteries at ICE

Can't set a precedent of popular occupation... Dems would rather lose elections than give an inch to anybody who wants to see leadership held accountable

Great reference!

The chocolate bar wrapper

They are if you teach them well

I really feel like it peaked in 2012 or 2013. Hot on the heels of the "rally to restore the sanity" (which proved the true power of Reddit, but was co-opted and defanged)

Lots of big AMAs but they could be very chaotic.

Allowed content wasn't quite as wild as two years previous but it was still possible to find some real taboo/NSFL/disturbing/subversive communities of all sorts.

The userbase was large but still most of your friends would make fun of you for going there, and your parents didn't even know it existed.

The admin team was still pretty small and they even would make a point to hire users who understood the culture and spirit of the site.

Yeah... People lose their goddamn minds over minors and sex, like they were never minors themselves 🙄😮‍💨

I got banned for the telling a teenage OP in /r/sex that her yeast infection was probably caused by her boyfriend's dirty fingers. I told her to emphasize cleanliness and hygiene ahead of future encounters. She said she couldn't ask her parents for sexual advice and also couldn't consult a doctor, so I tried to give her immediately useful advice

I was banned for "encouraging sex acts with a minor" but not before a bunch of people called me rude names for "imagining her sexual encounter with her boyfriend"

Democrat politicians also love it and assisted it

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but I am on board

After the court rules against them, they will just continue to do as they please... Who's going to stop them?

It will take military intervention to stop this wanton administration. Then it will require some constitutional amendments to prevent it ever happening again.

I have little hope of either thing happening. Neither party is interested in accountability

This deleted comment is somehow poignant in context

He looks like a ghoul in this picture

It's always been fascist. These people just fear they're on the chopping block now

I don't really know what that means in this context
