  • Just because Labour wasn’t in power doesn’t mean people weren’t unhappy with them. I remember watching the news interviews at the time, and some of the people who voted to Exit said they didn’t really want to Exit they just wanted to put out a protest vote against Corbyn. Also, polls showed at the time that only 52% of Labour voters thought Labour was in favor of Remain, so there was generally bad messaging by Labour.

    Look, you can argue that the single issue is so important it should take precedence, but the end result of not voting for Harris means… even more genocide! So go ahead and single issue vote on something that will get you more of what you don’t want. Anyone voting for Stein in a swing state is either someone who gains something from the 3rd party getting more votes, or is someone who doesn’t understand the implications of a Trump presidency. If you live in CA or AL or OK or NY, sure, protest against Harris.

    Also, I like how you blame the Democrats for Trump winning when the people actually voted. The people deserve some blame for the consequence of their actions. Yes, Clinton was a shitty candidate who I predicted losing because everyone hates her so much… but in the end there were a lot of people who are now worse off because they decided it would be better to vote for Stein.















  • There was no evidence he was at the crime scene: no fingerprints that match his, no DNA of his, no footprints that match his, no cloth/fiber samples from him, nothing. There actually was a ton of evidence left behind at the scene, but none of it connects to him.

    There is no forensic evidence connecting him to the murder weapon, possibly because it was wildly mishandled by the police and the prosecutor.

    There are no eye-witnesses saying that he was at the scene.

    The items of hers in his car were not found by police officers and were not produced as evidence in the trial. The items were reportedly found by an ex-girlfriend who got a big reward for turning him in, and she only claimed to have seen the items, never actually showing the items to anyone.

    The only other witness in the case was a cell-mate who claimed he confessed while in jail, and this jailhouse snitch ALSO claimed a big reward.

    Yet with no tie to the crime scene, no tie to the victim, no tie to the weapon, no witnesses, no provable tie to stolen objects, and the word of a jailhouse snitch… you think it’s reasonable to say he might still be guilty? Jesus fucking christ.

    There’s a huge difference between what a site like Reddit is used for and how Twitter is often used for. Reddit is all about discussion, so blocking discussion is bad (as you pointed out). Twitter is used a little for discussion (their character limit doesn’t really allow much discussion), but it’s mostly used for informing the world about whatever you are doing or care about. Famous people and companies use it for advertising, and normal people use it for letting people know what’s going on in their world. Stalkers can use this information to figure out where people are in the world. Being able to COMPLETELY block a stalker is a good thing. Now people with stalkers will once again be afraid to openly say what they are doing in the world.
