  • America's youngest voters become major election liars

    Jump

  • I’m an unrepentant asshole because I fucking hate them.

    This is pretty much what I've been saying the whole time. You do you, but don't act like its anything other than just being an asshole.

  • Man accused of voting twice found not guilty of voter fraud

    Jump

  • Just a little more context, because the article is really light on the details. After he had been turned away, the cops showed up at his house to interview him and he denied that it was him and it must have been someone else. This defense only came up later after his arreest.

    It's BS and I suspect the only reason he was let off is because the town is overwhelmingly red and the jury was packed with Trump supporters. And of course they don't care about voter fraud when their side commits it, only when they imagine the other side is.

  • I gave you plenty of good reasons for being an asshole.

    You gave plenty of good reasons why their actions make you upset and offend you. This is not the same as them being good reasons to be an asshole. If someone offends you and you are pointlessly an asshole to them as a result, that just makes you an asshole too.

    Maybe if I’m shitty enough, they’ll report me and they’ll put me on a do not call list.

    Another poster here pointed out, from their personal experience do this type of work, that they don't really care. They just hang up and move to the next person. By getting angry and being an asshole to them is almost certainly pointless and will not have this result. Almost certainly, if your goal is to get removed from these lists, you would be better served to ask them kindly to be put on some do-not-call list. I know it has worked for me.

  • It’s not hard.

    It's also not hard to not get all angry and be an asshole to someone just trying to make a buck. It's also pointless because this poor person on the other end of the phone is not really in charge of whether or not it happens, they are just getting paid. So being an asshole to them just makes you an asshole, not some noble warrior. If you're happy with being an asshole for no good reason, more power to you, I guess.

  • ‘Frightening to consider’: fears grow over Trump’s threats to political foes

    Jump

  • I've got a pretty good sense for these things, and yours is certainly a case of Poe's law, because I've heard nearly the same exact argument used in all seriousness many times.

  • Okay, so change it to "good on your for trying to make some poor worker bee feel worthless"

    It only makes it worse, because it's both assholish and ineffective.

  • Go on you for making some poor worker bee just trying to make a buck feel worthless. Very noble goal that will certainly change things.

  • If you want to waste your own time and be angry, you do you. Sometimes I'll string them along if I'm in the mood, but I'm not all angry doing it, I'm enjoying it.

  • That's not at all what it says. The article is then saying they will lie about it, but that could be to friends and family.

  • Or, you know, instead of getting all worked up and raging unnecessarily, you could just hang up.

  • It's click bait. Using exponents are not as eye catching.

  • Maybe the system is set up to limit the power of protest voting?

    Not everything is some conspiracy to keep you down. The people who wrote the constitution just weren't perfect and had to make political compromises, which resulted in an imperfect system.

  • Donald Trump’s Dog Whistles Are Unmistakable | The Republican nominee’s fixation on The Atlantic follows a dark pattern.

    Jump

  • It’s still very true that the media deserves it,

    The article is calling it out, while the poster is claiming that it isn't calling it out. It's definitely not deserved here, and they are just being mindlessly outraged. It's the exact same shit I see from dumbass trump supporters: the facts don't matter, only the narrative.

  • Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn

  • “we don’t see the world as it is; we see the world as we are.”

  • Donald Trump’s Dog Whistles Are Unmistakable | The Republican nominee’s fixation on The Atlantic follows a dark pattern.

    Jump

  • Yeah, but making a thoughtful post about the article actually requires reading it. Just being outraged at the media is much easier intellectually. Bonus points because it's popular here on Lemmy.

  • Advisers Propose That Trump Give Security Clearances Without F.B.I. Vetting

    Jump

  • I assume the POTUS, who is the source of all classification, could have always just given clearance to whomever they wanted. I doubt the scotus ruling has anything to do with this.

  • DNC projects message tying Trump to Hitler on Madison Square Garden during rally

  • I've been to msg hundreds of times over the past 30 years and can't remember a time that I noted it smelled bad. Like weed, definitely, but not bad.

  • How do you even get that from the comment I was responding to?
