If Liberals support the 2nd Amendment, wouldnt that just make them Conservatives?

A perfect example of why people need to get beyond the "I either agree 100% with the right, or I agree 100% with the left" mentality. And no, that doesn't mean you need to blindly take the middle ground in 100% of cases either (though it does mean you should consider it); it means you need to consider issues and positions, not "what side does the party I like take?"

Depends on what you mean by a prank call. Prank calls can be relatively harmless.
I'm thinking along the "calls themself are harmless, the quantity is extremely annoying" lines. Probably just "call and leave the line silent" or rickroll them or fart into the phone or something.

Will they beat the shit out of people that refuse the vaccine for valid medical reasons? I don't want to throw them under the bus
This, and same for people who are not able to access the vaccine?

As long as they're only targeting people who could get the vaccine but choose not to (and allowing a reasonable time, eg. if someone becomes eligible today but doesn't get it until next week, I ain't gonna demonize them over that; on the other hand if they've still taken no action in a couple of months...), then this is very much a "what's the downside?"

The other thing to consider is that it doesn't need to change their mind. It just needs to make them less willing to openly spread their crap. They're probably a lost cause; the people their stupidity might infect aren't (yet).

There are a lot of vaccinated folks who do not want their unvaccinated family members, friends, (and again, children) getting sick and winding up in the hospital.
Unless their friends / family / etc did not choose to be unvaccinated (ie: it's not available to them due to supply and/or eligibility rules, or they have medical reasons), they need to harden up and tell their friend / family member / etc to do the right damn thing instead of feeling sorry for someone who puts themself and others at risk purely based on what some nutjob on Youtube or at church made up.

imagine applying this logic to everything, what about people who eat meat to a point that's not even sustainable for the environment (most people in america) or people who buy stuff that is made by kids in china (most people in america) they're supporting these terrible industries, is it suddenly morally ok to harass them?
One of these is about them not actively doing things that can be quite difficult, especially for those in a poor financial position, to do.

The other is literally about people not saying dumb shit and refusing to get a free vaccine that saves lives.

The two aren't fucking comparable. Shut the fuck up.

just because someone does something morally wrong doesn't change the morality of what your doing because it's done to them
I mean, it can. It's morally wrong to put someone in jail for the rest of their life when they've done nothing. That very quickly changes if they're a murderer.

Now yes, anti-vaxx might only be potential murderers, but prank calls are also a lot less than life behind bars.

Remember when they used to actually respond to your contest.
I can understand not having responses in really clear cut things, but they should still have to write one if it's borderline.

I dunno what the thresholds are, but if (for example) the cutoff is 50% need to vote for overturn, then if the vote comes back at say above 40% but under 50%, the original mod should have to give an explanation. Perhaps also go back to allowing - but not requiring - it at the moderator's discretion. Sometimes, the contest will be that the user genuinely doesn't see what's wrong, rather than that they're just contesting every moderation they get; and while long-time users know "if you want to ask questions, you go to Hellhole", new users are likely to if anything look to MBH or ATM, see that both have a "don't ask about your moderations" rule, and either break it or assume that they've just got to guess what they did.

I think they're going for the government's definition of a whistleblower, which requires that you go through legal channels (like inspectors general offices) instead of just leaking documents to random news outlets.

You can't think of any reason they might not want to go through a government-approved, and government-controlled, process in order to whisteblow on illegal activity by the government?

If there was some kind of agency outside the US's control in a trusted but neutral third country, that nonetheless had power to intervene, perhaps you'd have a point. I'm sure I don't need to explain how a genuine version of such an agency would be unlikely to exist in practice.

We desperately need to raise wages to accommodate for the inflation weve seen recently. As is commonly (and correctly) said, the minimum wage needs to he $28-33/hr if we want a fighting chance. No, our country DOESNT need to have an entire class of people who starve and constantly stress over finances. EVERY job needs to pay a living wage or it needs to shut down.

This won't work, for fuck's sake. In places where wages have continued to increase, costs including rent just continue to increase too, and at best people are in the same boat (after maybe a few weeks where they're better off until prices catch up), at worst they're worse off as they slowly creep into higher tax brackets.

And let me be VERY, VERY fucking clear, since I know exactly what conclusion you're about to jump to. No, I am not saying there isn't a problem. I'm saying "increase wages" is not the solution. What can be done to improve the ratio of income to costs, long-term, at least as far as the costs of essentials (including, but not limited to, rent) goes? Is there red tape we can get rid of to bring costs down without a negative impact on the quality of housing, food, etc? Is there anything that's taxed that doesn't need to be, or where the tax could be moved to a more discretionary item so that the burden of it falls more on those who are more able to afford it? Etc.
