  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

She could have left out the middle paragraph, and this still would have been a mature, reasonable response without the praise.

Yeah. "We're sorry for his family that he's dead, regardless of who he was as a person, that's gotta suck for them." Totally fine.

"And here this embodiment of literally everything wrong with America, directly responsible for the deaths of thousands, instrumental in weakening the norms of integrity and public interest for his own financial gain and helping in some small way to lay the foundation for our current debacle, a punchline of corruption and slaughter, infamous in the news and reviled in public life, he's got my vote though! You see I am not willing to deal in uncomfortable truths even when the public can see them unanimously" could have been omitted.

regardless of who he was as a person, that’s gotta suck for them.

Yeah if he loved America he wouldn't've violated one of its founding tenants across the globe

Hmm, yes, interesting. Shall I post what Harris said when Sinwar was killed?

To be fair, her wording is written very politically. You could say it of pretty much any top political figure -- good or bad -- and have it be true

Cheney caused a lot of death and suffering. Sometimes it was through his actions as a leader, other times his incompetence with a gun. He was dedicated though, spent much of his life in politics

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He was dedicated to personal power and enrichment

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. Dedication doesn't have an inherently positive connotation
