Interesting how the Dems haven't accepted the victory since 2016, hey? To be honest, I'm surprised they censored you, that comment fits the politics narrative perfectly

And a perma-ban nonetheless. I’m not sure how that incites violence. A few people reached out and got banned from the same post. Maybe they have a new mod in the past few months but I’ve never been banned from a fuckin subreddit in 3 years. Suddenly in the last month, two in a row... both from r/politics. Something has changed over there.
20 u/KingOfTheP4s 18 Aug 2020 12:11
r/politics is a right-wing subreddit, what did you expect? ^^^/s
10 u/Fractured_Senada 18 Aug 2020 13:46
Yeah, the thing that changed is we're getting closer to the election and they don't want to give any ideas to wackos. I don't agree with the permaban, but it's naive to say dragging him out would not be a violent act.
51 u/Arszenik 18 Aug 2020 04:16
Well, you were inciting violence. Whenever you should get banned for it is another question.
-5 u/offisirplz 18 Aug 2020 07:36
Well in this case...where any politician refuses to get out of office, i dont think they should be banned. Unless they're advocating for actually injuring them
-16 u/GoingForwardIn2018 18 Aug 2020 10:51
Dragging someone doesn't have to be violent.
14 u/soisawc 18 Aug 2020 14:12
Ah the classic redditor, play fortnite and harrypotter mobile games, thinks they understand political violence. The thing is political turmoil and upheaval is 100% always violent, The matters at stake are by definition: "Life and Death". Why don't you ask Gaddafi how ousted dictator's get treated. It's a death-sentence, the "dragging" is just the transportation to the execution chambers.

1) I think you guys have a laundry list of excuses and accusations ready if trump wins 2020 and you will keep bitching about it till 2024 2) I'm actually impressed politics banned you for this. These type of comments are standard for that cell pool of an echo chamber at this point.
-27 u/CountCuriousness 18 Aug 2020 08:44
1) I’m a billion percent sure rightwingers will invent a million reasons why Trump had the election stolen from him. He’s doing it himself, right now, saying the only way he loses is if it’s rigged. Insanity. 2) rightwingers talking about echo chambers is absurd. I’ve never been banned faster than when challenging the narrative on rightwing subs. Only goodthinking is allowed, and as little as possible.

BuT HiLLaRy WoN THe PoPuLAr VoTe. You've just described exactly what we experience in the left wingers subs. If not threats of worse. So, what do we do about this little conundrum, hmmm?

>BuT HiLLaRy WoN THe PoPuLAr VoTe. I didn't say one word about Clinton. She also conceded the election - she didn't scream out to her voters that the election had been stolen from her, as Trump is already admitting he'll do. Why do the Clintons live rent free inside your head? >You've just described exactly what we experience in the left wingers subs. If not threats of worse. So, what do we do about this little conundrum, hmmm? We focus on the issue: The sitting president is saying he won't accept a lost election, is talking about running a 3rd term in spite of a little thing called the constitution, and - perhaps most frightening - his supporters are lapping it up. A worrying amount of rightwingers will not accept dissension on the subject of actual fucking fascism. I think that's a slightly bigger issue than "I get banned for spamming 13/50 memes on leftwing subs :(", don't you? Conundrum solved. Edit: And if you want a source: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/13/trump-opposes-usps-funding-394692 ""Now they need that money in order to have the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” he continued. “By the way, those are just two items, but if they don't get those two items that means you can't have universal mail-in voting.""
2 u/copper_chicken 18 Aug 2020 22:49
No. The actual issue is the fact the each side has a hatred... face it, it's what it is... for the other. Beyond the jackassery of elected leaders of BOTH SIDES is the fact that we have lefties who want us killed, beaten, freaking gulagged for having a different opinion of how the country should be run. And no, I'm not talking about just getting banned for a few memes. I'm talking about calls to actual violence for our very existence. I'm infuriated by that. Of course Trump isn't going to get a third term. You and I both know it. But for every point that you want to bring up about something he said or did, I can bring up something the left either said or did. He's been nothing but attacked by the media from day one, while those on the left get a free pass for much worse. So now, I don't blame him for saying just anything. The media and the left lose their shit every time. And after calls to personal violence, we enjoy the left's reaction very much. But the problem at the heart is two sides of a population stewing hatred for each other. That is the conundrum. Now, how shall we get past this? Edit: We all know damned well the left will do everything they can to steal the election ala Broward County or illegals voting multiple times. And of course, you'll argue the right will try to steal it, and I will call bullshit... and around and around we go.

You deserved the ban - your comment is borderline illegal. There's a difference between being banned for calling someone a dick and being banned for inciting violence. Learn the difference.
-16 u/Will_I_Mmm [OP] 18 Aug 2020 10:48
Actually the comments below mine were worse.
19 u/Neoxide 18 Aug 2020 11:32
The_Donald was banned for far less than this violent rhetoric the mods of /r/politics are allowing to fester.
1 u/Lupinfujiko 23 Aug 2020 12:23
That's silly man. That wasn't inciting violence. It's beyond ridiculous being permanently banned for something as asinine as that.
8 u/Neoxide 18 Aug 2020 11:30
You're basically saying you will enact a French revolution style coup if you don't get your way. That's the definition of inciting violence.
-6 u/Will_I_Mmm [OP] 18 Aug 2020 11:41
... to a President who says he refuses to accept the election? I guess we see it differently.
14 u/KingOfTheP4s 18 Aug 2020 12:13
It's not violence if it's someone you disagree with, right?
7 u/shellbross * 18 Aug 2020 14:05
Just like the French Noblesse, they "deserved" to have their head cut off. Funny facts about the French revolution, there were way more non Nobles who had their head cut off than people from the Noblesse. The persons in charge took the opportunity to also cut the head of anybody not agreeing with them and felt in their rights because they obviously were fighting evil... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reign_of_Terror As a French, who loves studying history, what I see right now in the US from the left deeming the right evil, I suspect the minute the left win back any power, you'll have your own "Reign of Terror"... If Biden wins, every right wing politics and activists will have their head cut off (metaphorically, I suspect more of a reeducation camp style of punishment).
-5 u/Troby01 18 Aug 2020 15:40
Whenever someone uses the term "basically" whatever follows is total bullshit.

You could always put forward a candidate who can win, then you could spend less energy on conspiracy theories and jerkoff fantasies where you rise up and save democracy

I may not agree with what you wrote, but the rules on Reddit have gotten extremely arbitrary and unclear. Anything can be racism, anything can incite violence, anything can be homophobia or any of the hundreds of other censorship rules the cabal instituted. And you never know until you find yourself banned, or your account deleted.
2 u/mycatiswatchingyou 18 Aug 2020 19:02
The comment can easily be interpreted as inciting violence, which is against Reddit sitewide ToS. The surprising part is that they actually banned you for it...usually comments like that in that sub, especially when directed at Trump, are ignored. Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with most forms of censorship either, but in this case I don't totally deny that it was justified.
1 u/Lupinfujiko 23 Aug 2020 12:24
Reddit Moderators are pathetic individuals. It is beyond absurd you were banned for that. Fuck Reddit. First time I've logged in in a few weeks. I'm out again. What an absolute fucking joke this site has become.

The censor subs are more right leaning. They'll downvote this. It was probably a trumpist that reported you
-9 u/kkjdroid 18 Aug 2020 11:10
Yeah, sorry, OP, this sub is for complaining that you got banned for saying the n-word, not for calling for a revolution.
9 u/Neoxide 18 Aug 2020 11:35
That's the problem with the radical left. You guys think words are violence, so actual censorship of speech is okay while at the same time actual violence is justified, which is totally backwards from reality.
-6 u/kkjdroid 18 Aug 2020 11:58
Violence is justified against oppressors, while hate speech never is. It's the same phenomenon that makes sane people more disgusted by rape than by homicide: you can be left with no choice but to kill someone, but there are no circumstances that force you to rape anyone.
5 u/mostnormal 18 Aug 2020 17:18
And how are you being oppressed?
-2 u/Fractured_Senada 18 Aug 2020 19:25
A president overstaying their term would be a ruler. A ruler oppresses.
4 u/mostnormal 18 Aug 2020 19:47
Has he overstayed his term yet? And if he were to attempt it, do you genuinely believe the rest of the nation would just throw up their hands and say "well I guess that's how it goes!" and let him?
-2 u/Fractured_Senada 18 Aug 2020 19:51
No, he has not. His poor sense of humor notwithstanding, I take what he says seriously because he's the POTUS. I don't know what to believe from my fellow Americans anymore.
1 u/offisirplz 19 Aug 2020 01:27
dude isn't that the damn point of the dude who got his comment removed?
1 u/mostnormal 19 Aug 2020 01:34
I was referring to legal ways of preventing it. I can't speak of what the other guy meant by dragging him out of office, but it does seem to suggest violence.
-7 u/Fractured_Senada 18 Aug 2020 13:44
Words are harassment. Violence is exercised. Harassment is a form of intimidation or abuse, which in some cases leads to violence. The only thing the "radical left" want to "censor" is harassment and being factually incorrect. Try to wrap your head around the fact that Trump may be doing illegal and unethical things, and he has even confessed to doing such things. Further, think about what weight his words as POTUS carry. Should we really not take what Trump says seriously? If he's advocating for a third term should we be complacent, and let him strip our democratic republic? I believe OP's post was patriotic in that it seeks to enforce the standard of a two term presidency, and while it wasn't specifically advocating for violence, the likely outcome of attempting to "drag him out" would be violent. There are at least three other ways to get a would be dictator/autocrat out of the POTUS before it would come to a citizens arrest type of situation.

Thank you. Im honestly blown away that this has received so much backlash and downvotes. Like I’m a proud American and was raised in a military right wing family. While many of them have passed on, the core principles of the US are deeply ingrained in me. To speak out against legitimate concerns over treasonous behavior, especially by a president, is what you are SUPPOSED to do as an America.
-4 u/offisirplz * 18 Aug 2020 16:56
Hahahaha doesn't describe me at all. I'm not for hate speech censorship and in most cases violence is not ok. Nice try though. But actual violence its justified in cases of war

jesus right wingers are so soft. I'm sure George Washington and Thomas jefferson are so proud of you, crying because someone wants to take action if a politician illegally steals power. I'm sure they would have taken it in the ass too.
