The problem with this line of thinking is that the groups in question aren't monoliths. Latinx wasn't a term made by white people, it was made by Latinx/Latino non-binary people and then adopted more broadly because they advocated for it.
Some other people of the affected group thinking it's silly doesn't mean the term or sensitivity is just made up white savior SJWism. The are plenty of women who think a woman's place is in the kitchen and following their husband's lead, but that doesn't mean feminism is junk.
People have a tendency to latch on to some segment of the population that thinks the SJW term is silly not because their number one priority is respecting the population as a whole, but because it gives them a pass to not change their habits.
You're almost certainly confusing wealth taxes with income taxes. Bernie Sanders had a wealth tax plan, it ranged from 1%-8% depending on wealth. From $1B to $2.5B the rate was 5%.
I think this dumb dynasty stuff is acceptable only because the only reason we know RFK Jr.'s name (vs. the other randos who throw their hat in the ring and get ignored) is because of the dynasty. If the media just treated him as a nobody who has no business running for president and clearly isn't making a real bid to win, then they also wouldn't treat his nobody relatives as having any legitimacy in political commentary, but since they do the former, they'll also do the latter.
They're not even offering ice cream. Not only does nothing they're offering address complaints, they're not even offering any unrelated things to entice/mollify the mods. Having a conversation isn't a reward.
The placed pixels don't have a username associated with them. The bot drawings are done with obviously fake accounts, but each pixel still has an account.
Post karma and comment karma don't map to questions and answers though. Maybe in some very specific subs posting=questions, but most post karma is posting links and memes.
It doesn’t really seem like they’re accounting for the fact that this means that the participant candidates are going to skew towards people that are overweight, which is like the 2nd highest risk factor for cancer generally.
You say this based on what exactly? Because that's a trivial thing to correct for in an observational study.
And even if not voting and making it easier for the greater evil to win IS stupid, that's not an excuse! Stupid people are a core Republican constituency, but they do the work to trigger them to go vote.
So sure, let's say young people are stupid. What are you going to do about it? Because complaining about how they didn't be not-stupid isn't getting any more votes.
Conservatives believe it’s vulnerable to a legal challenge, and some say it’s just a matter of finding a plaintiff with the legal right — or standing — to sue.
The plaintiff in the other case didn't have standing either, so why would they need it this time. The court is beyond simple hurdles like "precedent" or "standing".
From a brief browse, it looks like the day of the week is mostly hashtag spam, presumably for the purpose of trying to get noticed by using an easy and reliable trending hashtag. I saw one post about the Wednesday Addams TV show, but everything else was literally the day of the week. About half of the uses were in long lists of hashtags.
A town's feeling on the subject has little to do with the state as a whole. It was red before the shooting and still red after, that doesn't mean there wasn't movement or that the rest of Texas, that trusted "gun-grabbing" Beto at 43% on guns, isn't more conflicted on the issue.
No, Beehaw users posting in Beehaw communities visible on Lemmy.world. There's no third party interaction on either of those posts (just the Beehaw OP and Lemmy.world comments). Whether or not Beehaw is doing the convenience of sending updates, their content is accessible through Lemmy.world. It might take some action on a user here to trigger a pull, but it's entirely possible and you shouldn't expect defederation to prevent an intrusive instance from continuing to get content if they want it.
I don't know for sure there isn't some pathway through another instance causing this, but in my understanding that's not how federated communities work. There's the owner instance that has the true version of the content and distributes it around and then local copies on each other server that feed their updates back to the main instance. You wouldn't ever take a third party's version of a community because you couldn't trust its legitimacy.
People seem to just be assuming the gun control comments were an insurmountable anchor around his neck, but after Uvalde polling put him just down 4 points (43-47) for trust on gun issues. There's a lot more wiggle room in the gun debate, even in Texas, than people think.
So it's not actually compromising to advance climate needs, it's compromising the environment to advance other political goals.
Being a lobbyist doesn't actually make you an expert on politics, particularly when the cause you're working for has basically continually failed to secure the changes needed for decades. It's not like you're working for Exxon and have a string of successes to make the value of your understanding self-evident, you're just making excuses for why a better world isn't possible, which come to think of it, IS a very good understanding of how politicians work.
