…Greene insisted that no one had informed her that she had been voted out. Some Freedom Caucus members suggested that Greene has been avoiding Perry’s attempts to reach her to deliver the news.
While his super PAC has already raised $130 million, it can't run his campaign. Campaigns rely on many continuous small donations which DeSantis is just not pulling in. Mega donors too seem uncertain on DeSantis, and justifiably so given that he has been trailing Trump by 30% points in the national polls for a few months now and isn't closing in. No one wants to fund a loser.
Neither is okay. Super PAC expenditures cannot be made “in concert or cooperation with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, the candidate's campaign or a political party”
That suit was against the FEC for not holding Rick Scott accountable for illegal coordination with a super PAC. He delayed declaration of his Senate candidacy while the super PAC raised funds for him and colluded with him on expenditures. No campaign no foul right? A district court sided with the FEC but the decision was appealed in circuit court Jan this year. The case is still ongoing. Anyway, even if the appeal doesn't do anything, the case does not provide a precedent for collusion after the declaration of candidacy - that's still illegal.
Right, because his floundering is somebody else’s fault, and not just that he somehow manages to be a transparently amoral megalomaniac and an incompetent boob at the same time.
He’s like what you’d get if you combined Mussolini and Mr. Bean.
The court can decide to hire an outside expert to redraw the maps if it agrees that the map is another racial gerrymander.
Yes, please. This should be automatic for any overly gerrymandered map. If the kids can’t figure their shit out, it’s time for the grownups to step in.
Maybe we could just… Not let Alabama participate in elections it won’t prepare for?
Ugh, it’s a bad idea, we don’t need to disenfranchise people for the states’ mistake. But ugh, would I like to have Alabama’s version of “present” not count towards the next bimbo peddling hamberders.
I’d like to believe that there will be serious repercussions, and that a fair map will be drawn in Tim for the election, but I don’t think either of those things will happen.
Gotcha. Sidebar here doesn’t have that info but clicking through to the kbin page shows them (not sure if they’re different things across platforms or just haven’t sync’d). That rule makes sense, just wasn’t sure how to comply with it.
Still learning how all these different federated platforms work together / what features won’t work where, etc.
Thanks for asking @ptz. On kbin.social, there is an option in the link submissions form to add badges (similar to flair from reddit) or tags (hashtags to broadcast to the microblogging feature of the Fediverse). As of right now, the badges feature isn't working properly - you can type in the name of a badge (I think it's supposed to be a drop down menu, but is currently a text field) but it doesn't show up in the submission anywhere.
Our users were asked 2 weeks ago what rules they want in this space for moderation and multiple users expressed a desire to see labelling of some sort between news, opinion/editorialized, and analysis content. This is a unique community rule to the politics magazine on kbin.social based on solicited member comments.
We ask that submissions include a label in the title like "News: [Article title as it appears on external site]"
I'm glad you asked this question, especially as a federated user. It draws attention for me that not all of the instances may have coding for badges, so even though I had hoped we could one day employ badges here on kbin.social, I'm realizing that we can't make that a submission rule if federated users don't even have that option.
Also, it will depend on how you're accessing the magazine (which is what all kbin instances call communities), as to whether the sidebar is viewable. I can only think of describing how to access the sidebar if you're another kbin.social user accessing from mobile.
These are realistic barriers to future plans I had wanted to roll out, so thanks for asking this question and shedding light on it for me.
