      why so much downvote…

      This is right, right thing to do and the motive called out is likely true…

      If you disagree, please state your reasoning.

        Merrick Garland and his DOJ are absolutely not taking marching orders from the Whitehouse. Garland also doesn’t give two shits about politics. Dude’s rigidly ethical

        You’re right, the President should basically do nothing in the year before an election. Everything must be accomplished in the first three years, then we take a break.

        Edit: (Assuming POTUS was even involved)

        Lemmy dogpiles much more than reddit ever does. All one can do is upvote but it’s moot.

        Downvotes should max out at 5.

          Unenforceable wish: no limit on downvotes, but people should have to EXPLAIN them. I often learn more from opposing opinions than from statements of agreement. If I say something unpopular, I want to know WHY it’s so widely disliked. Maybe I’m unaware of something important.

              lol good point. I’m a goddam genius!

              Ironically, your reply is what I’m talking about. Tell me why I’m wrong! Point out what I missed!

                  It’s ironic because thoughtful criticism is helpful. The “tell me why I’m wrong” bit is a remark meant for others, not you.
