9 days agoHardly the first time Spanish courts have completely fucking failed to understand technology (I will never get over how monumentally stupid the Mario Costeja case was), but this manages to take it to an incredible new level. The idiotic lack of forethought asside, you’d think that once the consequences were made clear and people were actively being prevented from accessing all sorts of legitimate websites, including GitHub, they’d immediately reverse course. How the fuck does one private sporting company gain the right to force a huge swathe of the Internet to be blocked, anyway? Utter fucking nonsense.
I don’t exactly know the details, but weren’t there accusations of meddling from the DNC that stoppered Sanders’ chance of securing the nomination, and a belief among some that he might have won the nomination if it had been a free and fair primary process?
In other words, it’s possible (though by no means certain) that your sentence above works if “democrats” means “the DNC and the establishment of the Democratic Party”, but not if it means “people who by-and-large support the Democratic Party”.
