Can you please explain which portion of his messages encouraging voters to "vote by SMS" constitute satire?

You seem unfamiliar as to how memes work. Have you never seen people post "Vote early, vote often"? It's the same as that.

it turns out "it's just memes, bro" is a poor defense against Conspiracy Against Rights charges.

> Have you never seen people post "Vote early, vote often"? It's the same as that.

If you are aware of an instance of someone being convicted by a jury of their peers of Conspiracy Against Rights for sharing "vote early, vote often," be sure to let us know.

That is factually incorrect: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/03/31/far-right-influence...

Got you. Only left-wing memes allowed.

You are calling it a «meme», the judges recognized it as «fraudulent actions cross[ing] a line into criminality». The color does not count.

Just in case your not already aware this account you are responding to is very “out there” and hard to take in good faith. It’s just one thing after another of absolutely nonsense points like this.

What a sheltered bubble you must live in to never come across anyone even vaguely right wing.

The takes you have posted in this thread aren't moored to reality, and have nothing to do with left vs right wing. I hope these comments influence you to reevaluate things, but I am done engaging with you.

It has everything to do with it. I have posted from a pretty standard right wing perspective. Apparently you have so few people in your life that disagree with you politically that you can't even recognise this.

In that case, dear Mhoad, let us hope that some calls to good sense sooner or later will find a fortunate moment and give the poster some clean sight.

I think you're forgetting some major facts about that case.

FWIW, I'm not on the left or right. My comment history establishes that in spades.

It's possible that Popehat's Law of Goats applies here. Even if Mackey was totally joking about what he was doing, he was still engaged in voter suppression.

Then apply it equally and lock up anyone that has ever tweeted "vote early, vote often" or "Party X votes Tuesday, Party Y votes Wednesday" (when the election is on Tuesday). Of course, with all these politically motivated prosecutions it only goes one way.
