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.

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.

I'm still voting for Harris, and have never advocated for not voting, voting third party, or voting for trump. You've ignored this multiple times because it's contrary to your "anti-genocide = pro-trump" narrative.
Where did you find yourself in what I said?
Guess I was wrong about you being able to admit mistakes as well.
I genuinely think I didn't say anything about you, except when I mistakenly thought you claimed you pretended to advocate for third parties. It's the advocating for throwing away your vote that I always object to.
So I'm asking where I said something where you felt criticised as secretly pro trump, because unless you advocated that principled folk throw away their vote, I don't think I did.
That's not my narrative AT ALL. My narrative is that the people who argue that caring about Gaza or caring about left wing issues means you should exclude yourself from deciding between Kamala Harris and Donald "best King of Israel" Trump aren't really left wing or pro Gaza people at all, they're trumpers trying to suppress left wing votes. Tindiril seemed not to realise they exist, but the rest of the thread has them out in spades. I've never taken issue with people hating what's going on in Gaza and spreading to Lebanon, I just keep pointing out that allowing Trump back in the White House will be worse for Gaza and worse for anything left wing.
You know I'm not one of those people. And yet, since you can't abide anyone being unhappy about genocide, you keep pretending I am.
Well, if you pretend to support Trump winning, maybe don't take offence when people criticise you for advocating for Trump.
Edit: I misread "you keep pretending" as "I keep pretending", which completely changed the meaning!
I never did that. Not once. Why do you keep lying about anyone who doesn't support genocide?
I'm so sorry, I misread your comment:
I thought you said "I keep pretending I am".
You have spent the past few hours telling vicious lies about me. You have consistently ignored my positions and kept calling me a trumpist even though you know better. You have been the absolute epitome of bad faith.
I'm glad that you can finally admit a mistake. But no. Apology not accepted.
Which lies did I tell about you? I really think you're mixing me up with someone else or something.
Anti-Harris = Pro-Trump
Anti-genocide != anti-Harris, but every genocide supporter interprets it so because they don't want the genocide to stop until it's complete.
