Hey, thanks for mentioning Citizens United. I never Heard of the story and probably wouldn't have unless You mentioned it. Hard to keep up with all of the history Ya know ?
Why the heck are there down votes for mentioning you learned something and are grateful for it.
The internet is weird. Stay curious and never stop learning, friend. :)
Lemmy be tripping sometimes. The odd downvotes is the first thing I've noticed when I've moved off from reddit to here. I find them amusing, but most of the time I don't even pay attention anymore (gotten used to it). Upvotes and downvotes don't do anything to the reply itself; so I guess that's cool.
Also sometimes people get "fans" 😉 where a "fan" goes through Your post history and downvotes anything and everything You put out there. Did I say fans? I meant losers / creeps*
