Howard Dean, as the most progressive candidate got sabotaged similarly to Bernie Sanders, which was later blamed on that scream. KH has dozens of way goofier clips and she's probably going to win the election.

Do you have a link? I wanna see these goofy clips.

Also.

I don't know how much more digging around I wanna do in my discord server for random examples. And considering I wanted to delete this post -- still not sure why people can still.see my.posts after I delete them. Must be a bug with different instances

Not really a bug, more of a feature. It's easy to see what was deleted from comments in the fediverse. Maybe it only works in certain clients but it definitely works.

I think it's great for transparency. Some people may not be as vitriolic if they knew their comments would be immortalized on the internet.

I mean, I guess that's fine. People are more rude to me more than I am to them; I just can't always shake the feeling that a post is dumb and pointless
