    We’re no better than MAGAts if we stoop to their level and use playground insults. Even if it’s warranted.

      She wasn’t insulting though, only asking if using such description was a personal attack according to the ruling.

        Playing the republicans’ game doesn’t give us a chance to win. It ends up in the board getting flipped and that, in the end, is what they want.

        This is how you lose the vote of independents and rational thinkers. They’ll reject and vote third party. But. I agree. Fuck civility. Lol

      I continuously see comments about speaking to them in a language that they can understand, as well as comments about being the better person and not stooping to their level. Problem is, the only language that they understand is the language you don’t want people to use.

      Lone voice of reason being drowned out by the baying mob. Thanks for trying.

        This was a well crafted comeback after being directly insulted and then denied a censure on the offending party. Don’t get your panties in a twist.

        Signed, someone that’s not voting for either main party.

      Yeah. Sadly I’m gonna have to drop lemmy soon just like Reddit. Eventually it just becomes propagandist noise. And for some reason this morning I seem to be running into a lot of it.
