Horrible voter outreach.

        I am sorry for not being kind. You are saying some things that aren’t very grounded in reality from my view, and I feel an outside perspective(s) could help

          It happens, no one is perfect. Your apology is appreciated.

          So, could you provide a specific example of where I don’t seem grounded in reality?

          It might help to know that some of my comments are intended to be humorous in nature (“Black MAGA in UFC rings” ought to have been obviously dry humor, from my perspective, for example) whereas others are extremely serious, in particular those referencing UN Human Rights that got downvoted to oblivion.

            Do you really wish to sue moderators of an internet forum? It seems outlandish for many reasons. No rights are infringed because this is a private entity, not the government, censoring (moderating)

            Plus, the UN text you’re quoting does not ostensibly protect internet comments from moderation either

            Generally the concept of suing under UN law in the USA is comical because of our disdain for international law too

              Do you really wish to sue moderators of an internet forum?

              If an instance operator violated my UN Human Rights, and my Nation-State had written domestic laws to allow me to sue for injuctive or other relief, then you had better believe it.

              the concept of suing under UN law in the USA is comical

              Well, this is why I advocate for us to finally, after 60+ years, ratify the ICESCR.

              UN text you’re quoting does not ostensibly protect internet comments from moderation either

              The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights has other Articles. Read the whole thing…

              There is a difference between reasonable, valid moderator actions and wholesale censorship.
