A little over a week after a prosecutor in Georgia indicted former President Donald Trump for trying to overturn the results of the state’s 2020 presidential election, Republicans said they will use a new law to remove her from office.
In May, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed the law that created a new commission of political appointees with the power to remove and discipline elected prosecutors over decisions or policies not to prosecute certain offenses. The law seeks to limit or restrict reform-minded prosecutors. In the case of Fulton County — which includes Atlanta — though, District Attorney Fani Willis is not even known as much of a reformer. Instead, Republican lawmakers set their sights on Willis for another reason: prosecuting the wrong person.
It’s true the downvotes have a lot less power here and it’s awesome.
I think they have zero power here. You can even hide them if you want on some apps. Only thing I can think of is that they show how many people didn’t like what you said. That’s about it.
Did upvotes or downvotes ever matter on Reddit? Never did for me but maybe y’all know something I don’t
down votes take you down the chain in reddit so you can basically be downvoted to where no one would see what you wrote. If they had a brigade they could take you out of a conversation
I thought that people wouldn’t be able to post anymore when they hit the negative, but that was kind of a rarity. Also, people there used that shit out of spite at times.
My instance doesn’t allow or federate downvotes lol
If I post something that ruffles loads of feathers, I’d never know unless someone challenged or opened my eyes to an alternative view… because my instance only shows me the upvotes 😅
