"We cant promise you much other than, if you visit us, we can guarantee you'll come back again !"

That's a really hard guarantee to live up to. It almost sounds like an ominous threat.

Yes, her name is already on the ballots, like RFK Jr is still on the ballots in many states, but the hope is her supporters will listen to her endorsement. Just because a person's name is on the ballot doesn't force people to vote for that person. Some people have voted already, some will continue to vote for her out of protest, some will continue to vote for her because they didn't hear she dropped out or didn't care. But the hope is enough people will hear that she dropped out and endorsed Harris that their votes will come through for Harris.

Response from Jill: Can you outbid Putin?

Maybe, maybe not. The fight could be a distraction to draw the air marshal into the open and into a vulnerable situation so that a highjacking can take place. As long as there isn't immediate danger of loss of life, they might choose to let some guy get punched in order to continue their primary job of protecting 300 other people. Or they might step in.

The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's demonization of Latinos.

Makes sense to me.

Because his base eats this up

In California we've spent $11 billion over 10 years with nothing active to show for it. 120 miles are under construction but aren't finished or connected to anything. By the time the first usable section is completed (171 miles), it will be at $30 billion.

Was he charged with voter fraud or attempted voter fraud? For many crimes, attempting a crime is a separate crime that carries penalties even if not successful in the actual crime. Not sure if that is the case here.

Your argument is that it is on the system to deal with crime and that a person who commits a crime, even for what is perceived to be a good reason, should not be held liable for breaking the law?

I get that he didn't actually commit the crime in this case, so there is plausible deniability. But criminal court treats attempting a crime as a crime itself, though with lesser penalties. And in your scenario a crime would have been committed.

The headline is blowing what actually happened way out of proportion. It's a similar level of stupid as Philly.

I wouldn't call a single group looting a single street corner and attempting to set one bus on fire, "tearing the place apart."

Is there a way to force a sync/update of a federated community? When I go to https://soccer.forum I can see all kinds of recent activity. When I go to https://lemmy.world/c/main@soccer.forum I don't see any new posts for the last 16 days.

I found a very active soccer community randomly while surfing not logged in. When I got back to my computer that was logged in, I had the hardest time finding it. And when I finally found it, the community didn't show any new posts for the last 7 days and was far less active. I swapped to a different browser that wasn't logged into lemmy and could see all the newest posts.

So I tried subscribing to see if that would force a sync, but it didn't do anything.

Basically, when I'm logged into lemmy.world I cannot see any new posts on lemmy.world/c/main@soccer.forum but when I'm logged out and go to the exact same address I can see all the newest posts.
