In what world is stop other people from voting for someone voter suppression? Big stretch here. Letting racist uncle do it without consequences (like being removed from family events) = not stopping it. No one is suggesting suppression, cmon now. Both sides nonsense.
The one where we know what words mean. Let’s go back to the definition, shall we? to hinder or prevent the passage of : syn. CHOKE, OBSTRUCT; to keep from carrying out a proposed action : syn. RESTRAIN, PREVENT AND WHY ARE INDIVIDUALS MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT THAN PEOPLE WHO CAN SPEAK ON CNN.
That’s interesting, but I’m a human and can understand context of words being used. It is exceptionally obvious what he was saying.
“They did their jobs” .. “what did you do to stop white people from voting Trump” in the same sentence, of this thread should give clues to a human being what was being discussed. And if you were actually confused could say “oh ok, I get it, sorry for assuming you meant that” like a human being.
You also kept changing the language and putting words in peoples mouths to argue for the hell of it. He never said the things you said. You even adjusted “stop” to “prevent” for.. reasons? You aren’t attempting to even be a little intellectually honest.
Go fuck your dictionary, you pedantic white putz
Actually, let’s go one further: let’s give people a pass for saying explitly what they don’t mean, assume they meant “convince not to” instead of “stop”: BECAUSE I DONT FUCKING KNOW ANY TRUMP VOTERS, BECAUSE I’M NOT A PIECE OF TRASH WHO CONSORTS WITH WHITE SUPREMACISTS. Do better. If you can.
This is my ENTIRE point. I cut those people out of my life because that was part of the threat. They don’t get in my families life. I tried to stop them in ways I knew. Those that go to dinner didn’t, they aren’t, they should have tried to stop the vote.
You realize lots of us still have happy lunches with them? Don’t you think they could have done something to stop their family from voting that way that doesn’t entail voter suppression? You think stop in my question above could possibly mean voter suppression? On an individual level?
You think he was asking this Andrew fellow why HE PERSONALLY didnt suppress voting? You cannot be serious.
Wow, it's crazy how there are more white people than just the ones you know. Are you this publicly stupid all the time?
American exceptionalist claptrap got you genuinely believing, at apparently an innate-memory level, that systems have no power, only individuals do. They really will give a PhD to just anybody, huh?
This is total nonsense, my entire professional career is teaching about harms of systems. You just enjoy playing as AI, rather than being human.
"Convince people not to vote for" It's not the same as stopping people voting. You're welcome, hope that helps 🤦🏻
To be clear @flootzavut.bsky.social - your contention in the image below is he was asking Andrew if he suppressed peoples votes? Because that’s what you’re saying, “hope that helps”.
What counts as stopping? Hitting them with a bat? Kidnapping? Threatening? Persuading? Asking? We could look at some context clues. He said the Obamas did their job? Which of those did they do, how did the Obamas do their work in stopping people from voting Trump?
We could also ask him what he meant, that would be a respectful thought. Or we could do whatever you’re doing here, I suppose.
Hey dipshit, want to stop trying to tell me what I meant by my own words?
Also, did I say stop people from voting? No, I said stop them from voting FOR TRUMP. Read, it's so fucking easy 😑
“no but it’s what they MEANT” see the thing about debate, Doctor Vegetables, is that only the stuff you say counts. If you said the wrong thing, that makes your argument invalid as presented—thus, wrong. Doing a bad job counts as losing, actually.
Nobody said the wrong thing, you just don’t have the ability to follow threads of conversation. Your interpretation of what he said makes absolutely no sense in the context of the thread.
If I said “I tried to stop my uncle from voting Trump" You would interpret this to mean I… tried to steal his ballot and remove his right to vote? That’s a real thing you’re saying?
