I’ve been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama’s first term in 2008 more wasn’t accomplished. Shouldn’t that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside of Obamacare getting passed which didnt go far enough it seems like they didn’t really do much with all that power. Are there other important accomplishments from this time that didn’t get the news they deserved? It seems like the voters have done their job in the past to elect people to fix things and yet we are still here begging people to vote to fix issues like abortion rights.

    Are you prepared to shell out potentially 10’s of thousands of dollars to actually defend your license? That’s my biggest question in this, because if not it really is a waste of time and effort.

    Well if the license is flagrantly ignored I’m sure Creative Commons would probably have something to say about it.

    Having said that, I meant for you to also go to the top of that link conversation to read everything that’s been discussed, including my answer to the question you just asked.

    Also, we’re really derailing the topic of the post.

      I did, but you never really answer the question, are you financially prepared and willing to actually defend your license in court?

      And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don’t need all those “~”

        Look, it makes them happy, it’s free, and it doesn’t cost you anything. It just kinda doesn’t seem like a big deal.

          I should start posting ads and sponsors as my signatures with every comment. This is totally not the start of something awful. It makes me happy, it’s free and doesn’t cost anyone else anything.

          Next I’m gonna post an image ad and randomise it. Maybe code bots to upvote it to the top. Ayy, you’re on to something. 🤔

        I did, both in the link that I originally gave you, as well as replying to your comment directly.

        And also your link has become incredibly obnoxious, you don’t need all those “~”

        That’s a problem with your mobile client, you’ll need to speak to the devs of your client about that.

        It’s not supporting subscript and superscript fonts correctly, per Lemmy’s help page on formatting comments. Also discussed in that original link I gave you.

        If we could stop derailing the current topic?
