DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated……

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

    according to the post-election analysis, ross perot decreased the margin of victory for clinton, and nader never spoiled any elections.

      Perot made it possible for Clinton to win over GHW Bush and it is well established that Nader absolutely did spoil the 2000 election for Gore.

      Nader always denied it, because he can’t face the blame that his ego-driven campaign was ultimately responsible for the GW Bush administration, whose negligence, incompetence, and corruption was responsible for the avoidable deaths of at least 10,000 American citizens, and countless foreign nationals, and the worst economic downfall since the Great Depression.

            do you also remember that the supreme Court stopped the vote counting and declared Bush the winner?

              The vote was close enough that Bush ended up winning by 537 votes. If Nader had not been in the race, his 5% would have primarily gone to Gore, making the difference big enough to keep Bush from stealing it. Nader absolutely made the difference.

          Studies showed that Perot took votes from both sides, and we will never know which side he took from most. But there is no doubt he heavily influenced the vote, without a chance of winning, which is what a spoiler does.
