Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

“Federal Election Commission records show Stein paid $100,000 in July to a consulting outfit that has worked with Republican campaigns, as well as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential bid. The firm, Accelevate, is operated by Trent Pool. The Intercept reported that he appeared to be part of the mob that breached the grounds of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6., 2021. The Journal hasn’t independently verified the reporting.”

Yes, you find 14 pages of dead Palestinian infants to be the funniest shit ever. The perpetrator of the ongoing genocide in Gaza bought candidates for you.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, I find your bullshit false accusations to be funny. Especially when it’s backed up by quite a lengthy mod log of removed misinformation and bullshit trolling attempts.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I have no sock puppet accounts. If I Had sockpuppets, my comments would have more upvotes and a lot more genocide supporters would have more downvotes. Only one comment I've ever made has been (unjustly in my opinion) removed as misinformation.

You're just mad that I didn't immediately shut up when you used "hilarious" as a rebuttal. Now you're responding to my comments multiple times, spouting conspiracy nonsense, and going through my comment history to stalk me into other threads.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

News flash bud…. There’s no genocide supporters here. But ironically, I did see you get bent out of shape when someone accused you of being a Trump supporter.

Hypocrite.

If you can’t take it- don’t dish it.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There’s no genocide supporters here.

You stood up for a genocide denier in the thread you followed me into on another community.

You did. As for your ridiculous lie that there are no genocide supporters on lemmy:

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=1207993

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=9567319

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=67131

Those are just the ones I've been able to find since my comment of 54 minutes ago, in the midst of considerable distraction. One of them is the genocide denier you defended.

EDIT: Here's another:

Sure thing, trumper. Whatever makes you feel better when you accuse everyone that disagrees with you of being a genocide supporter.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I brought receipts. Of course, you dismissed them without even looking at them and repeated the same lie about me.

I'm disengaging with you now. You have nothing and I've shown that lemmy does in fact have genocide supporters. I'll probably add to the list and use it every time some genocide apologist lies and says no one on lemmy supports genocide.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Naaah.. you just pasted links to shit you disagree with. I’ve seen how you accuse everyone that calls your shit out- “genocide supporters.”

And I’ve seen how you twist shit to mean things people never said. So spare me your rhetoric. I’m not buying it. You’re a page right out of a trumper’s playbook.

Not fooled here bud.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Naaah… you just pasted links to shit you disagree with.

While I disagree with genocide support and genocide denial, and you've made it clear that you don't, everything I posted was links to the modlog. Those were comments that were removed by moderators, not me, for genocide denial, pro-genocide misinformation, etc. Genocide denial is genocide support. You've made it clear that you didn't follow any of those links or even look too closely at the URLs. I invite anyone who believes that no one on lemmy supports genocide to read them. Anyone who reads them and claims those links don't contain genocide support is a goddamned liar.

And here I am taking the bait. I said I was gonna disengage. Shame on me.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don’t know why you keep going with this man. I already told you I’m not buying your bullshit. I’m not the first one to call you out and I won’t be the last.

You hide behind your accusations of others because it keeps the heat off of you. Classic trumper move- stay on the offense, right?

It’s not working here.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Others will read the links even if you don't. Others will know that you never even thought about following them or reading them. The links speak for themselves. Goodbye.

How do I know your bullshit is entirely ignorable?

genocide supporters

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You're not doing a very good job of ignoring it.

Scroll down, I brought receipts.

[–] pooperNickel@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, everyone who doesn't agree with you loves genocide. Let me get right on reading about that

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] pooperNickel@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Pointing out your tactics isn't the same thing as engaging in your bullshit content. But this isn't the first time you've equated two things falsely, is it?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you don't want to have a conversation, don't talk to me. If you're just going to ignore any evidence I provide and repeat yourself, well, this is lemmy and that is how centrists do when people disagree with them.

[–] pooperNickel@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The comment wasn't for you, it was for people who might not know your entire fucking schtick is to shame everyone who doesn't think exactly like you do, because everyone supports genocide but you and your small Linkerbaan-TokenBoomer cult. You all are absolutely driving people away from your cause with your lies and insults, but sure you're just so magnanimous and care about Palestinians so much.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe -4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Look at that! Four upvotes within mere minutes on a completely dead end comment chain! You’re about as authentic as they get bud!

No amount of suck puppets will make the shit you say appear any less stupid.
