    A small internet community magically doing as you wish and ignoring him is roughly as effective in changing the outcome as a video game boycott.

    spoiler

    Both are ineffective.

      I not talking about boycotts. I’m talking about giving him attention and publicity that he wouldn’t otherwise get. Like live streaming his trial, for example.

        This little community, even with federated size, will not change the outcome whether or not we pay attention to this.

            They didn’t clarify that way or respond accordingly, so I really don’t know.

            EDIT:

            Like live streaming his trial

            Fine, there it is. I do agree that it’s going to likely boost Trump’s re-election chances and that sucks.

              They said they weren’t talking about boycotts - as in they are not shaming us for participating in the discussion of this.

              They then say

              Im talking about giving him attention and publicity that he wouldn’t otherwise get. Like live streaming his trial, for example.

              As in that the live streaming of his trial is a bad thing.
              They talked about the trial the whole time, you two just misunderstood each other, it’s what happens.
