A little over a week after a prosecutor in Georgia indicted former President Donald Trump for trying to overturn the results of the state’s 2020 presidential election, Republicans said they will use a new law to remove her from office.

In May, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed the law that created a new commission of political appointees with the power to remove and discipline elected prosecutors over decisions or policies not to prosecute certain offenses. The law seeks to limit or restrict reform-minded prosecutors. In the case of Fulton County — which includes Atlanta — though, District Attorney Fani Willis is not even known as much of a reformer. Instead, Republican lawmakers set their sights on Willis for another reason: prosecuting the wrong person.

          Did upvotes or downvotes ever matter on Reddit? Never did for me but maybe y’all know something I don’t

            down votes take you down the chain in reddit so you can basically be downvoted to where no one would see what you wrote. If they had a brigade they could take you out of a conversation

              Yea I was aware of the up/downvote ranking system they used. I guess I just didn’t care enough for it to matter to me. Thanks for the heads up regardless

            Besides the other mentioned brigading some subs required accounts to have a certain amount of upvote karma to even post.

          My instance doesn’t allow or federate downvotes lol

          If I post something that ruffles loads of feathers, I’d never know unless someone challenged or opened my eyes to an alternative view… because my instance only shows me the upvotes 😅
