It can certainly happen

What can?

In the US, right now, who holds power is still decided by who gets the most votes in elections.

But a vote doesn’t have an impact.

This presumes that a vote has an impact.

you sounded pretty pro-brexit so not unreasonable to suspect you were a troll!

I disagree. Very much unreasonable. Regardless, a suspicion should not dictate one’s behaviour. Suspicions should be tested and not just assumed correct.

And to be clear, I am pro-brexit.

Who is yalls go to

O_o

feigning ignorance of the subject matter

your comments do come off a little bit like that

LOL damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If one doesn’t understand what another person means, there’s no way to gain understanding except to ask them. That people interpret genuine attempts to enter into dialogue as feigning ignorance shows, to me at least, the astonishingly low level of average communication ability.

people often use it to dismiss any further discussion

Communication can be too difficult for some.

the sealion

I don’t understand what you mean.

each party

Who decides who is a “party”?

It biases them towards catering to public demand instead of being a neutral arbiter of justice.

But they’re biased anyway, towards whoever has the power to take away their job. They’re never neutral arbiters of justice.

Wow, who did all that? Do you have references to back up what you’re saying?

If it doesn’t work then why are you still posting?

LOL

@lemmy.ml

Ah, now it makes sense.

they’re making the decision of whom you can & can’t talk to on your behalf

If I want to talk to people on a defederated instance, I can create an account on the defederated instance. Nobody has made any decision for me. You seem unhinged.

whether or not you asked them for it

Admins having the power to decide to defederate is implied simply by being a Lemmy server. It cannot be any other way. The only “asking” that occurs in this situation is a user asking permission to sign up, create an account and use the server where the admins necessarily have that power.

I believe there’s strength in sticking with the other EU members

What do you mean, “strength”?

Edit: tumbleweed Did they not even understand what they themselves meant? Can they not be bothered to answer? Are they really just fascists and want to avoid making that obvious? We’ll never know…

The architects and enablers of Brexit should be tried as traitors.

Why? How did they betray the nation?

I hope so.

Can I ask why?

conveniences of the EU

Such as?

God yes please.

Can I ask why you want to rejoin?

@SysAdmin@startrek.website Can I ask what they were propagandising about?

God I hope not. Why the fuck would we want to join the EU again?
