What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

    Fair enough, but I think we’re borderline splitting hairs.

    delusion is a belief held with strong conviction despite superior evidence to the contrary.

    The word can be used in mental health contexts, but it’s in common usage as a synonym for “profoundly mistaken.” I can see the argument for calling it ableist, but it’s tenuous.

        I’m genuinely stumped then. Do you mind explaining?

            Hello! I was curious, was this post going to be restored and the actual reported uncivil comment removed? From what I’m seeing, this reported comment is still up and active.

            Oh! I think you accidently removed the parent comment instead. I can still see the offending comment here:

            Meanwhile, my app shows this:

            I was actually one of the people who reported that comment.

              It’s weird in that, in the report log, when I click the comment that was removed, it’s somehow crosswired to your comment.

              I think some stream got crossed there, I don’t want to risk restoring the comment that needs to be removed.
