How can you see the content of what was changed in each edit diff?

PrettyLights , 2 months ago to Political Memes in Happy 420?

They kept changing their points and insults with constant edits. You're coming into this thread a day late after most of their posts have edits.

I don't have to engage with bad faith actors after giving it a serious try.

Other promises can get stalled even if it's within the president's authority, like Biden's student debt relief was stalled by the Supreme Court.

I think the student relief is a good example of his team making an effort to keep the promise, rather than marijuana where they're barely trying.

When bidens relief was blocked, they immediately went back to the drawing board and started pushing alternative relief seriously.

He could be doing so much more for marijuana if he wanted to. Maybe he's saving it for right before the election which is terrible if so as there are lots of people being prosecuted and losing jobs today. Holding it for an election bump would further show his lack of sincerity in the promise or goal.

That they aren't promises but goals.

Why use the word "promise" then? Is this Newspeak?

What part do I not understand?

PrettyLights , 2 months ago to Political Memes in Happy 420?

Just checked your profile and you created 3 different communities and can't attract a single other monthly user due to how you behave online and your ridiculous viewpoints.

You are clearly not interested in discussion and prefer talking to yourself in circles.

Blocked.

Economy is better than either election cycle.

I somehow doubt the average Lemmy poster you're so in tune with agrees on this.

Economy is better for the country, or you personally? Are you a land owner with a large stock portfolio and other assets?

So again, yeah, I'm actually more confident going into this year than 2020 OR 2022 midterms :)

You truly are euphoric

"Terrified"? Well, yes anyone obviously would be with creeping fascism on the line.

So is it easily going to be defeated, or is it a close battle? You keep flip floppng to whichever is convenient.

This is a hallmark of fascism by the way, characterization of opponents as simultaneously both weak and powerful.

PrettyLights , 2 months ago to Political Memes in Happy 420?

I have yet to attack you rather than the content of your posts.

I can make an exception here though: you talk like someone on reddit athiesm subbredits back when it was front page. In this moment, you are euphoric.

Know that if your preferred candidates lose, contributions such as yours are suppressing turnout. Source: minority polls are tanking, and the only response seems to be to guilt trip rather than offer real solutions or representation.

There is no hope for fascist authoritarians of the Republican spectrum

Cool, then there's nothing to worry about if I am what you erroneously claim?

Why are you so threatened by an opposing view if that opposition has no hope?

You're terrified and resorting to attacking and othering anyone who doesn't fall in line 100%, even if they're part of your same party.

I'm sure you will spark the change you desperately seek in the world by being belligerent to other people in a meme community.

PrettyLights , 2 months ago to Political Memes in Happy 420?

Yeah you're right. I saw one of their bulleted posts that seemed genuine at first glance but the more we talk the more they expose their focus on "winning" rather than being realistic or truthful.

Anyways, I'm pretty happy because my initial comment was heavily up-voted. I already won long ago.

You're posting a popular opinion in an online echo chamber and taking a victory lap over up votes?

I can make the opposite post on a right wing site and get more up votes, that doesn't make it more valid or a "win".
