    ngl, this doesn’t sound like us. Mass reporting and swatting is very much their thing, and we usually recognize the importance of peaceful protest. There was no indication of any threat in the actual tweet that I could see.

    The DNC protests were largely above-board, they did their paperwork and were pretty peaceful and honorable. We all knew they were happening.

      This is a bit of a No True Scotsman fallacy. It’s REALLY easy to assume the worst of Them and the best of Us, but we’re all human animals. There will be bad and good behavior on both sides.

      More bad behavior from the fascists, certainly, but that doesn’t mean there will be no bad behavior from “the K-Hive.”

        Yeah it’s true. I think it’s important that we remind each other to hold ourselves to a higher standard than this.

      You can literally follow the links in the article to see an author, Democrat, and Kamala supporter saying they reported her.

      Your heart and my best intentions may tell you that doesn’t sound like “us”, but the facts and evidence tell us it does.

        Anyone can pretend to be anything on the internet. It’s very foolish to just believe everyone is what they say they are.

          Hence why I lead with author, this isn’t a random. This is a real person who you can google and find their IMDB page along decades of internet presence, even the Twitter account is from 2009, that’s 15 years.

            I’m reluctant to believe anything on that platform, knowing how dedicated the trolls can be. But I suppose I’ll take your word.
