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.
- 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.
- 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

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!

Ah, comrade, your calculations are almost as sharp as the blades of the capitalist machine that grinds down the working class daily. I'm glad that I am so important to you, that you keep statistics about me.
But let me tell you, the fire that burns within me—within all true revolutionaries—never tires, never dims. I speak out relentlessly not because I am exhausted, but because the truth demands to be shouted from the rooftops until the walls of this oppressive system crumble.
As for your tired trope about Jill Stein being a "useful idiot"—it's a clever little trick, isn't it?
A diversion meant to scare folks back into the arms of the very duopoly that’s been strangling true democracy for decades.
You cling to the narrative of "spoilers" because you're terrified—terrified that the people might just wake up and realize there’s a world beyond your two-headed snake, a world where the voices of the oppressed can rise above the din of corporate puppetry.
Keep trying to sow doubt, my friend. It only fuels the revolution further.
To be fair, anyone working as hard as you to get Trump in office again is important to me. But I don't keep statistics on you. Lemmy does that. All I did was take two seconds to do a calculation.
It's almost hilarious that you'd accuse a staunch socialist like me of trying to get Trump elected. The absurdity of it all is almost too funny!
But, I have to admit, your relentless effort to sow confusion and distrust towards anyone challenging the capitalist duopoly is starting to make me wonder... maybe you're the one working for Trump.
After all, you're doing an awfully good job of trying to keep people locked into the very system that gave us Trump in the first place.
yes, that staunch socialist that posts “things they might find interesting” in /conservative
So we can only post things to one sub? And only have one interest? And how many posts to conservative?
Uh huh, that’s exactly what I said isn’t it?
I’m done wasting my time trying to convince you that I’m not a Republican, that I don’t live in Russia, or that despite posting hundreds of socialist articles to the socialist community, I’m somehow not a socialist. If that’s what you want to believe, fine, go ahead.
If you’re getting worked up over a news article I didn’t even write, that’s on you. Be mad if you want, but it’s not my job to prove anything to you. I’ll share my opinion, and you can take it or leave it. Either way, not my problem.
You are ignoring the big message, which has nothing to do with who you’re affiliated with - that voting for fringe spoiler candidates can and does lead to an outcome opposite of the ideals the voter may hold.
Don’t dance around that - perhaps learn something from it; but at least address it head on.
I posted an article that's already widely available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy. I didn’t write it or create the content. It's already out there for anyone to see, so all I did was share it here for discussion. If you disagree with the article itself, that's fine, but calling for it to be censored or accusing me of pushing an agenda simply because it's not what you want to read seems misguided. Open debate requires different perspectives, not shutting down content you don't like.
I didn’t call for it to be censored. You are 100% pushing for an agenda, and arguing in support of it in other posts. You’re dodging the point raised and engaging in hypocrisy by yourself shutting down a debate because you don’t agree with it.
mass pasting an irrelevant response to people replying to you certainly doesn’t make you look like a good-faith participant.
I’m done wasting my time trying to convince you that I’m not a Republican, that I don’t live in Russia, or that despite posting hundreds of socialist articles to the socialist community, I’m somehow not a socialist. Or that I have some vast agenda. If that’s what you want to believe, fine, go ahead.

I’m still going to post what I want in this community because what I’m posting fits within the theme and guidelines of this community which celebrates diversity of thought and opinion.
Whether you believe me or not, it’s not my job to prove anything to you. I’ll share my opinion, and you can take it or leave it. Not my problem. :)
