    And yet, when it endangers the public, it is. See 'shouting fire in a crowded theater'.

    I don't think that's censorship, as much as it's dealing with libel or slander.

    I suppose someone should point out that this case has nothing to do with charging people with a crime.

    The case is about whether it should be illegal for the government to point out when someone is lying.

    Well, actually, yes. People even want things controlled that are very clearly protected with language in legal documents that a specific right or ability "shall not be infringed"...

    This example isn't a problem, because no one here believes anything you say.

    The farthest left corner of the internet’s basement has indeed proven difficult to bring the light to.

    But I won’t give up on you guys.

    “Supposing we hit the basement with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but we’re going to test it? And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, either through the skin or some other way.” - DJT

    You don't know how much that means to us.

    Dem Donors Warn Biden's Support for Israeli War on Gaza May Hand Trump the White House

    "Because of the disillusionment of a critical portion of the Democratic coalition, the Gaza war is increasing the chances of a Trump victory."

    Even if he did, Trump wouldn't admit it, his base wouldn't admit it, and the media would spin it like at worst it was a tie, but that Joe looked old because he said old man things.

    If there is no debate then they should both be disqualified until next election cycle. Start the process over again.

    Wealthy and powerful people are laying out plans for a Christian fascist regime with Trump as president for life figurehead. Trump is gathering a s inciting shock troops for fascist coup. And it's Biden's fault! Talk about both siderism.

    Many activists are saying with increasing urgency that only we the citizens can prevent this plan and must act.

    But it's so much easier to sit in a small chat room and tell everyone how stupid they are....

    Chat rooms are where all the heavy lifting is done.

    It wasn't specific to you, it was about the Democratic party trying to shame Muslims and the youth into saying, "if Trump wins it's because of you!" No, it's because of the garbage candidate. Don't put it on me. I don't have to play the game if I don't want to. The biggest voter block in America is the non-voter. It's not on them that Trump won in 16, it's on the Democratic party for running a shitty candidate in Hillary Clinton. If you want our vote, earn it. Otherwise, it ain't on me.

    I can understand the "vote blue no matter who" nonsense that we keep hearing but that's also why the party doesn't feel compelled to put forth a better agenda. They'll fear-monger until their blue in the face that the other side is going to end the world. If they wanted to win, they wouldn't run a Dementia-addled corpse with policies we can't get excited for. If they lose to Trump again, instead of you normies getting upset with the non-voter, you should get upset with the party and you should get your pitchforks out.

    I respect and appreciate both perspectives.

    Why in the world should the Democratic party (or any party) cater to people who don't vote?

    You might think you are sending a message, but the only message they receive is "ignore me, I don't matter". No one cares about the preferences of non-voters.

    If you want to change the party, there are only two ways to do it. One, vote in primaries for the candidate that best fits your views; and/or two, get involved in the party itself.

    If you don't want to participate, that's your right. But I'm pretty certain your absence will have the opposite effect as what you'd like.

    Candidates vie for the attention of actual, reliable voters. If the actual voters start to trend to the right because lefties don't vote, the politicians will move to the right to make up for it.

    That's one thing I never understood. That and why it is Democrats have to appeal to independent and conservative voters, but the GOP never has to appeal to progressive or independent voters.
