I didn’t compare a vaccine to an assassination attempt.
No, we did not. We are not restricting discussion (those are your words) because this is a life and death situation. We are requiring sources for life or death claims, and we are removing purely speculative and baseless assertions of fact, because this is a life and death situation.

No, we are not. Our sidebar rules are posted and have not changed, nor have the rules of Lemmy.
Given the state of American discourse right now, I’m going to hard disagree with you there.
We remove comments that make objectively false claims, especially when they involve life or death situations. Covid misinformation is a good example.
If you have evidence that it was staged, feel free to share it. If you don’t, then we ask that you not speculate. It’s no different than any other claim for which we’d require a basic amount of credible substantiation.
No. I’m saying the risks of a contested convention turning sour are not what they were in 1968 when this happened.
I didn’t say anything about whether the party can or cannot afford to lose support.
That’s quite literally all I was trying to say, so yes.
I provided the polling evidence in black and white. You’re flat wrong, and a vast majority of voters don’t obsess over the things that keep you awake at night. They have other priorities, and the people who do care enough to protest are in a significant (albeit disproportionately loud) minority. It’s strange how difficult it is for you to accept that very simple fact.
You didn’t respond to what I said though. You responded, yes, but it had nothing to do with what I said or the point I was making or responding to.
Voters don’t care about Gaza. Whatever weird “last word” game you’re playing now doesn’t detract from that. Sorry the truth makes you uncomfortable.
I’m not “quibbling”. I’m pointing to polling evidence that directly contradicts a claim the other user made. I didn’t say a damn thing about the DNC, or voter enthusiasm, or electoral prospects, or any of that information. I literally just showed polls of priority issues for relative importance. That’s the end of my point, so please don’t respond to an argument I didn’t make.
Yikes. I hadn’t even thought about the possibility of violence. Maybe the fact that they’ve got a slightly better handle on these clandestine operations now than they did in 2016 will help with the Russian ops. I think the risk of right-wing agitators provoking a violent clash is higher, to be perfectly honest. They’ll certainly have to take security very seriously if this is the path they choose.
