Aww you made a meme just for me!

Don’t feel so special.

I don’t know how bad gerrymandering is here compared to other states, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed legislation that would have required dozens of his state’s largest cities, counties and educational districts to use independent commissions to draw voting districts, dealing a setback to “redistricting reform” advocates.

“We’re frustrated, confused and deeply disappointed,” Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of voting rights group California Common Cause, said Monday. He added: “We were hopeful that this was an opportunity for California to show the rest of the nation what it looks like to put gerrymandering behind us.”

For those unfamiliar:

The 50 Cent Party, also known as the 50 Cent Army or wumao, are Internet commentators who are paid by the authorities of the People’s Republic of China to spread the propaganda of the governing Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The program was created during the early phases of the Internet’s rollout to the wider public in China.

I never brought up the US. You’re using them as a deflection from the topic at hand.

All I did was refute your claim that “China operates on the principle of peace. Not constant war.” That claim is easily debunked. Why spread lies?

Yes.

It is permabans and hooks and jabs all the way, for every single weird freak that backs this deranged hateful shit.

I agree. As a mod on LW myself I have to wonder how far the admin are willing to go to enforce such a policy. Are they really going to start removing mods for banning trolls and bigots‽

*Edit: oops, I got the posts mixed up. I thought this was the post about lemmy.world’s new policy on debating trolls instead of banning them.

I don’t want to see it

Well then, I’m sorry to do this to you…
