Really, that gaff should be the end of his already poor chances. I mean, she talks about patriotism and serving ones country, has the actual bonafides personally and in her family to back it up (remember, he's a shitstain who lied about his military service), and he pulls this kind of crap?

Edit: Ok, now having seen the whole video, it's actually worse than I thought. He had 30 seconds to respond to her answer, and that sentence, as racist, wrong (factually) and politically suicidal as it was, was his entire rebuttal. Jesus.

Aerox posted:


I know that's absurd but I'm trying to highlight why jury verdicts based on politics, projection, and feelings aren't a good thing. As neat as it would be if criminal cases were decided by virtue of what the most progressive verdict is, that's not really justice. Plenty of other people haven't received justice they should have gotten either, and that's terrible, but just flipping the positions doesn't really solve anything.

Also, straight up, a conviction in this case would have done nothing to militia groups who already see the government as illegitimate. Personally, I suspect if/when the Bundys or the next group actually does get convicted, they'll just be seen as brave martyrs. None of them are going to pack up their guns and go home because the Bundys got charged with possession of firearms in a federal building.

Thank you for taking the time to responds. Im pretty exhausted so apologizes if my response is a bit disjointed.

Except that there is a very distinct possible that this jury verdict was chosen based on "politics, projection, and feelings". A lot of my frustration is no system in place to deal with this from an acquittal standpoint and its very possible this is the first of many cases where this happens.

I disagree with your second point, as we saw when the feds got involved people bailed HARD out of the place. A guilty verdict would have lessened militia activity as when these people are made to put there money where mouth is a lot of them bail.

Everyone knows r/the_donald, possibly the worst site on Reddit (and thus the internet), engages in botting and vote manipulation to get featured on one of the site's main pages (r/all). Usually you see just a few r/the_donald posts on every page of r/all, but someone must have screwed up the settings on their botnet, cause now literally every post on every page is r/the_donald. Maybe this will lead to the site's admins reprimanding the site for manipulation, and since so many news sites steal stories from Reddit now, it might get some play on more mainstream media sites about how fake pro-Trump traffic online is.

Usually that's how r/the_donald posts look on r/all. I think it's because the algorithm takes into account the rate of upvotes, and the trump threads probably far outpace others on an upvote-per-second basis, due to the bots.

They've done blatant enough vote manipulation in the past that would have gotten any other subreddit banned, but reddit admins have done nothing more than ask /r/the_donald mods to keep better control of their userbase because they're afraid that banning it would be seen as partisan.
