I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

Formerly on kbin.social and dbzer0

  • tried that now

  • workson mai masheen—

    whaddya see?

  • You're right. There was a case with Special Counsel Jack Smith on his Jan. 6 actions but the charges did not including threatening the VP.

  • (That's the reason the lawmakers gave too.)

  • it is my personal opinion that the relevant law should be abolished, but since 1917 it’s been a felony to threaten bodily harm or kidnapping of those within the presidential line of succession, which does not include the mayor of new york city unless he decides to run for the presidential ticket or marry and become trump’s immediate family.

    *trump was on the verge of being sentenced for threatening to hang mike pence until he won the election.

  • well i posted it to the commag known as “United States”

  • This article is about that proposal.

  • Turkey pardons, where every year the President saves two turkeys from being killed and eaten. These do not open the door to anything.

  • A lot of change happened under BLM.

  • After Mamdani's speech, which is exactly what the NYT article says. And yours too (published on Saturday):

    The outcome of the vote will likely come as welcome news to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, who has tried to discourage Ossé from running and even attended Wednesday’s DSA candidate forum to appeal to comrades in person not to recommend endorsing Ossé’s congressional bid

  • I don't see how your quote contradicts "not knowing what he was getting into". Leaving so soon after joining for non-alignment sounds like he thought the DSA was something that aligned when he first joined.

    Having connections higher up

    Sorry, that's not what I meant. I meant more "life experiences that influence beliefs at a personal level".

    and Mamdani was a member and active part of DSA five years ago

    That could either mean what you're inferring or that the DSA allows quality pluralism in its members' beliefs. Mamdani back then did not have the influence within the DSA he has now.

    You would notice from my other reply that I only hold one of these contrary beliefs.

  • He left 5 years ago, shortly after joining and not quite knowing what he was getting into. That's quite some time, especially given his acquaintance and involvement with Mamdani and his campaign before rejoining. I also wouldn't be surprised if the DSA was, five years ago, different than what we know now and Mamdani promoted

  • There is no screening to join the DSA. As long as you pay the membership dues, you're a member. I think it's fair that they solicit all the monetary contributions they can in the Citizens United climate that is US campaigning. IIRC, in the US you cannot expel someone's party registration, only deny them from the ballot line. Though "DSA is not a political party, but a non-profit activist organization.", this seems emblematic of how in general party discipline is lax in the United States, perhaps due to the shadow of Tammany Hall.

    I definitely agree on Osse having a good track record, though. He is a friend of Mamdani and does not seem like an opportunist even if the timing is indeed suspect. Still, I feel like any replacement for Jeffries as Minority Leader would be much worse than he is.

    Edit: I swear I saw somewhere that he was a friend of Mamdani. I can't find that info anymore.

  • I don't see where it implies that Mamdani defied orders to endorse. All the other commenters here are interpreting the headline accurately and treating it as a story.

  • well the irony'd be in it anyway

    the vaultkeepers alliance misplacing the key is what makes this such an amazing onion, though you probably agree, and I guess "Cryptographers unveil backdoor to every key ever created after losing key" would be an even better onion

  • Radiohead—Amnesiac (especially the B-sides) Mr. Bungle—California ミラクルミュージカル—Hawaii: Part II (strongly related to Tally Hall, which is famous for their hit debut Marvin’s Marvelous Mechanical Museum) Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE (my preferred recording of this legendary unfinished album for its complete orchestration, but I very much get the argument that it just doesn’t sound right without the Beach Boys’ voices, so I also recommend giving the Dae Lime mix a try for its combination of original and deepfaked vocals)

  • They teach it in the European History course and schools in the UK teach it. I find it quite plausible that mandatory education does not teach something with no relation to the USA.

  • is there any reason to suspect foul play with Swartz? his life was upended through facing the lawfare of "$1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release" he could only get rid of by effectively renouncing his beliefs.
