Tell me, are they a platform or are they publishers?

And when private platforms become an arm of the Party?

You have a whole other post dedicated to that. Why bring it here?

No. It doesn't.

Hooah.

The most successful conquerors relied more on negotiation from a position of power. If a sword grants more power over the self, go for it. But I would recommend against self harm.
Like a cancer, few empires reach or maintain greatness by declaring itself the enemy.

In times when I have had the conversation I've generally pissed off a lot of people in each camp by simply reconsidering my stance or not having an extreme enough one.
Just as well. I know what I know is right.

I have to ask, who is this guy you refer to? Out of sheer curiosity, so that myself and others may get both sides of the story.

You'll also find that many people don't use Twitter. But when someone puts something out there with their name on it, it is of course the fault of anyone who tries to share or comment on it. Right?

Implication is no better than open insult. Worse, I'd argue. Just say who you mean and what you mean.
@cakelover You don't have to respond to the thread, just see who you're dealing with before you decide if you want to jump in.

I understand what you're saying, and I'll admit you make sense. But seeing what happened with "MAPs" I simply believe that this particular conversation is no place for good sense.

I don't care that you use profanity. But if you could go ahead and not attack my integrity, like you've attacked my identity on numerous occasions, you may find our interactions much more pleasant.

Are you not a lump of tissue? Aren't I? Just meat and blood and bits that smell terrible when spilled? Again, you need to satisfy those who disagree with you on that front. In this instance I am not making a stand, just pointing out that your conclusions are not the only ones.
.
I know what the national debate is. The left claims that requiring ID is racist. That's the only argument a reasonaby informed person could think you were referring to. Especially given your history on this very site.
.
Your final points are irrelevant. Every single claim you could make about gerrymandering sprays shit on every side. Removing some voting places is a logistical matter, purging voting rolls or making it so that absentee ballots must be rerequested is a securit matter.
But let's go ahead and talk about that, while ignoring the concentrated efforts to harvest ballots, undermine the constitution, illegally change voting practices by edict rather than legislation, and the attacks on the courts, etc.

I do consider myself well-informed, but I'm not considering myself a pundit until more people seek out and ask for my perspective. That is to say: Because I like you so much, this one's free.

You see it as a measurable signal or a bit of tissue. Your opponents see it as a life. Again, their concerns are what need to be convinced, not yours.
.
And no, *I* didn't make it about race. The politicians did. They're the ones arguing that voter ID or verification is racist.

Like the French as soon as a German crosses the border.

Those tired claims again?
Abortion is literally life or death. Nobody has a right to murder, and that's the perspective proponents need to satisfy. Not their own.
And voter ID is not racist. What's racist is the assumption that us brown people are too damned stoopid to get some form of ID.

Would you look at that, the full story just makes Kendy look even more like a piece of shit. Go figure.
