Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Calling me confused is a personal attack and isn’t very civil.
You’re always reminding people of the rules, you should know that.
Disagree. Calling someone confused isn't civil or against the guidelines at all. And when you say things like "your local currency" and "you guys" when referring to me, you genuinely seem confused about who I am. Care to clarify? Why be so vague, friend? Just say what you are meaning. What do you think my local currency is? Why would it be different than yours?
I think you might need to take a break because you seem to be getting a little heated.
Talk to you in eighteen minutes?
Not heated at all. And eighteen minutes? I thought you were just playing average numbers. But you actually think I'm on a timed posting schedule!!
You honestly think that I post every 18 minutes 24 hours a day!!!!!!! So you've never checked the timestamp on any of my posts of all the stats you keep on me?! hahahahahahhaha
Wow. Just wow. Ok, then. The fact that you are being literal...oooohhhh kay! lolololol
Friend, I will never take anything you say seriously now. Because of the fact that you think I post on a timed schedule, and 24 hours a day. That is HILARIOUS! Oh man, that is great....hahahahaha
But you never did explain why you implied that I have a "local currency" different than yours? Are you not in the US? Who do you work for? Cuz that seem kinda suspect. Hmmmmm....
You seem happy!
Oh I am! You make me laugh all the time. Thank you, friend!
I’m just happy you’re not angry anymore.
You must be confused again. I never was angry. There is nothing that you could possibly say that would make me angry or that I could ever take seriously. Ever. :)
Oh hey, I posted some more. Have you updated your stats about me? You know, that whole "every 18 minutes, 24 hours a day" thing? Do it again! lololol Or remember how you like to imply that I am a team of people.
That sounds like a lot of projection on your part though, so now I am starting to wonder what your true intentions are. Almost like you are trying to sow doubt and confusion to make people think that you are voting for a party that you may not actually be voting for. I think your posts are very suspicious.
And wow, you seem to post a lot. And then you used the strange terminology of "local currency." Very very strange. Hmmmm....
SatansMaggotyCumFart: (50+7560)/(16*365)=1.3 submissions to Lemmy per hour on average, assuming they sleep 8 hours a night.
UniversalFraud"Trow": (453+1950)/(16*45)=3.3 submissions to Lemmy per hour on average, assuming they sleep 8 hours a night.
Yeah, they post a lot, but you're more than double that, and you started doing this suddenly right before an election, and only content that is anti-democrat in nature.
Also I looked up this Kopomist Monk bullshit. You're bragging about your only god being copy/paste but in code. I could've told you that. You're obviously not a MoRmOn SaTanIst anymore than I'm a Christian Atheist.
Hey, I’ll have you know that I’m a fifty-five year old semi-retired education assistant who lives a ten minute walk away from the work that I don’t need to do but love.
Lemmy is my hobby, I mostly post on weekend and a couple minutes after work but besides that I spend time with my friends, family and girl friend while working to complete my education.
Thanks for respecting my views, life and who I want to vote for, friend!
Well, then it sounds like you have your life put together well and you're not working for Russia after all! See? That's what I'm talking about!!
Ya put in the work for most of your life, now you get to reap the rewards and do what makes you happy. The American Dream. Good job, comrade!
Are you accusing me of being a paid shill?
Yes, please elaborate, speak specifically, o wise monk
How could I accuse you of that? You just said you're a fifty-five year old semi-retired education assistant and that Lemmy is your hobby, you mostly post on weekend and a couple minutes after work but besides that you spend time with your friends, family and girlfriend while working to complete your education.
So what would make me think anything else about you.
Hey, you weren't lying were you?
Nobody lies on the internet, you should know this better than anyone!
You always try to argue in good faith, right? Hey I posted some more articles, so please update the stats you keep about me. Thank you!
I don’t keep stats about you, this platform does.
I understand it’s an easy mistake to make though.
Yeah, but you post the stats, then do your little calculations. Hey, remember when you thought I posted every 18 minutes, 24 hours a day?! And terms like "team" and "local currency"?
By the way, what is your local currency? Because that's some odd phrasing to use instead of 'dollar.'
I posted some more stuff. Can you update your stats, please? Thank you!
You averaged a post every eighteen minutes and thirteen seconds twenty four hours a day seven days a week, but that might have changed a bit today.
I don’t think I’ve ever referred to you as a team.
Maybe you have me confused for someone else?
You referred to me as "you guys." So you don't think I'm a team, just more than one guy then? And what did you mean by using the term "local currency"? Where do you think I am located?
Why didn't you just say "dollars." Now I am starting to wonder where you are located that you aren't using the same currency as I am. Hmmmmm
Inside us all is two wolves.
I like to acknowledge both of them but I definitely didn't call you a team.
You should try being more accurate with your accusations.
So you don't think I'm a team of people then?
Are you asking if you're a team of people or if you're the only one running this account?
Both.
It's kind of odd that you're asking me this question because you're the one who should know.
Well you sure seem to know.
I'm actually a little concerned that you don't know.
I just think it's hilarious when you pretend you know. :)
As I've said, I've never called you a team and I think you might be mistaking me for someone else.
So you don't think I'm a team then?
I've never said I thought you were.
