Well, you could be sane and be worried about this sort of thing, or you could be OP who has repeatedly said they don’t care what happens if Trump is elected.

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.

You do realise this is an anti-Trump article, right?
Nothing likely a timely response 🤣
And yes, your point is? It’s well known how uncaring you are about Trump winning and the lack of empathy you show to anyone else who is concerned. After all this time of “Don’t talk to me about the articles I share because I often share about things I don’t care about” - are we now to believe there is an agenda to your posts? If so, why don’t you illuminate us all?
I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.
So, if you’re assuming I agree with every viewpoint in the articles I post, how does that even work when I share so many conflicting perspectives?!
I also created and mod a political news community where people have posted articles praising Harris, criticizing Trump, and trashing me—yet I still leave those up.

I could have removed them. Seems like a lot of conflicting viewpoints for you to imply I have some agenda.
I don't have to "illuminate" you on anthing at all. You're mad because I'm not voting for Harris and I don't care if Trump wins or not. That makes you so mad in fact, that nothing I say or do will ever change your mind that I have some vast agenda.
Bruh, and the end of they day, I don't like Harris. And I'm not afraid of Trump. Accept it. There is no "gotcha" moment here. I have said that since day one. And I'll say it after the election. Which by the way Harris is gonna win, so even more double shits I don't give about Trump.
So I don't even know why you're so bothered in the first place! lmao
Or not, but don't try to play it all up like I have some agenda. Feel free to ignore my posts or block me if I annoy you that much. :)
Oh and bold again so you can do your duty to warn other people about my big bad agenda. Save yourself some time and just link to this comment: I DON'T CARE IF TRUMP WINS. I'M NOT AFRAID OF TRUMP.
I DON’T CARE IF TRUMP WINS. I AM NOT AFRAID OF TRUMP.
This is extremely damning, no matter how you spin it.
Go back and read what I wrote again. I never even talked about any purported reason for you sharing it. I simply pointed out that what the article presented is indeed something that sane people would worry about and compared it to your well known penchant for saying you have no concerns with Trump getting elected.
Between your misguided reply to a three day old comment where I clearly did read and understand the article, and your copypasta wall of text that talked about a dozen different things but didn’t address the point I raised, I honestly can’t tell how much of your schtick is sealioning and how much is just incredibly poor reading comprehension.
You’re the one that brought up possible motivations, not me. My original comment was simply agreeing that any sane person would find the situation described in the article worrying and how you famously don’t share that worry. So if you don’t think Trump is anything to worry about, why did you find the article worth sharing? Or was it that you were desperate to post anything that wasn’t downvoted into oblivion?
I don’t think you’re a Russian operative (they’re honestly much better at this than you are, but it’s true that their standards are slipping). I just think you have the worst case of main character syndrome I’ve ever seen and you love the attention that comes with intentionally playing the heel. And that’s because you never attempt to discuss a single issue with any forthrightness or honesty. If you weren’t just playing a character, you’d actually try and make a case for your beliefs. Instead you spend your time reinforcing your self-induced martyrdom and engaging in bad faith with everyone that bothers to respond to you. You profess to wonder why people react the way they do to your posts and comments and yet you keep engaging in the kind of behavior that demands such a response. Your comments especially bring no value to the community and the majority of your many, many posts are transparent attempts to support an agenda with just enough other stuff to offer (im)plausible deniability. Whether that agenda is even for real or just because you enjoy being a perpetually online edgelord is unknowable to anyone but you - but from the outside it’s certainly unflattering either way.
and how you famously don’t share that worry.
Correct. I don't. :)
I don’t think you’re a Russian operative (they’re honestly much better at this than you are, but it’s true that their standards are slipping).
Yay! Finally someone understands!
transparent attempts to support an agenda
What agenda do you think I have?
And if my "main character" syndrome bothers you, feel free to not respond to me or my posts. You can always ignore me or block me if you want. That way you don't have to read my replies. I mean, everyone responding to me and egging me on, just adds to that "main character" syndrome, right? So hey, no comments, no drama. Because the majority of my comments are in reply to someone.
Thank you! :)
Wait, you didn’t reply and you edited your comment to add the “e” to the end of “syndrom” but you’re still spelling it “charactor”?!
Bwahahahahahaha! Oh, that’s just precious. 🤣
Meh on my phone on a break. I'll get to it when I get to it. lol But hey, look on the bright side, it proves I'm not a robot! :)
Maybe that’s a sign to focus on quality and not quantity? I mean there’s low-effort and then there’s low-effort with typos.
So you got all that from a typo because I was on my phone during a break at work?! Ok...
But nah, I'll keep voting for who I find interesting and matches my values and keep voting any article I find interesting, even if you don't approve. Thank you!
Right - because your flood of low quality posts and comments weren’t a tip off already.
And are you “posting what you find interesting” or “voting what you find interesting.” What an odd turn of phrase. Hmm, must be another break on your phone, huh? Or are you having a stroke?
Both. I'll keep voting for who I find interesting and most aligns with my values. And I'll keep posting whatever articles I find interesting. Feel free not to read or comment on them if you don't wanna hear from me. Thank you!
Yeah, sure, that’s totally what you meant!
Glad I could clarify. Thank you!
As with everything you post, clear as mud
But you agreed that it was totally what I meant. Doesn't sound like mud to me. Thanks.
"main charactor" syndrom
If you’re going to quote what I said, could you at least spell it correctly? I thought you’d be well experienced copying and pasting by now?
I'm not voting for Trump. Thank you!
But your planned actions as stated will benefit him, as has already been explained to you by dozens of people. But no worries, bud - I know you don’t care. And that speaks volumes about you and your motivations.
Correct; I don't care. And I'm not voting for him. Thank you! :)
It's wild that you claim not to care despite claiming to care deeply in other threads.
This guy is the kid in kindergarten who kicked you then ran away.
Meh, feel free to believe and say whatever you want about me. Thank you! :)
Yes, I said I know. Your lack of empathy has been well demonstrated, no need to belabor it.
Thanks for giving me a shoutout, friend! :)
Sorry bud, but that was less a shoutout, and more like pointing at someone or something that can cause harm and calling it out to others as a warning.
It was a shoutout and I take it as a compliment. Thanks!
Oh, well, if we’re playing the game where other people get to decide what your intent was, then it’s only fair for me to say you’re a dishonest troll who never engages in good faith and has harmful motivations.
And before you report me for calling you a troll, you’re the one who decided to take my statement of intent, ignore it, and state I was saying the exact opposite. If we don’t get to be the authority on your motivations and intent, you don’t get to do that to others.
I'm not playing any games with you, I'm not a troll, and I don't have to explain anything to you. Thanks!
I don't have to explain anything to you.
No one has ever demanded you explain anything to them here. They may have asked, but your frankly ridiculous comment count is totally the result of you either offering explanations that don’t ring true, or copy/pasting ad nauseum replies to things that have not been posed to you.
And so yes, by definition, you are playing games. (i.e. denying you have been trolling and were moderated for it in just the last few days) You can try and explain that away, but it doesn’t change the facts about your behavior.
Not playing games. Not trolling. And also it's against the rules to call someone a troll anyway.
denying you have been trolling and were moderated for it in just the last few days)
You declined to mention that a comment chain between me and other person was removed for trolling. I'm totally fine with mods removing comments that they feel went too far. Their community, their rules, and I respect that and them. The mod log is totally public and I'm fine with it:
I didn’t decline to mention anything - the comments are moderated independently of each other, and it just so happened they decided both of you were trolling. Try and take responsibility for your behavior at the very least.
They looked at the entire discussion. As they are free to do. Those comments were in response to each other, they weren't removed without context.
I don't have to explain anything else to you. You're free to believe what you want. What you think about it has no impression on me. I'll continue to post what I want, when I want. Thank you! :)
You do love arguing things that aren’t even being discussed. They were removed for “trolling”. That means you were trolling, not some abstract higher order conversation. Just like the other recent violations for rule 4 and civility. This is not up for interpretation, it is fact that you were found to be doing these things.
Again, you shirk responsibility at every chance.
And I never said anything different. If the mods feel that counts, then I respect their right to remove the comments. And calling me a troll is against the rules and that can be removed too. :)
You are a person who has had comments removed specifically for trolling. Pointing that out is not against the rules, thanks bud!
Of course not. I totally support the mods to mod the community how they wish. And I'm still here because I haven't been banned for trolling. The modlog is public.
But since I'm not trolling, I shouldn't get banned for trolling. No matter how much you would like that. Thank you!
You have said you aren't voting for Harris, so the fact of the matter is you've illustrated you're unserious about politics. You either are lying about your voting plans or you don't care who actually wins, at all. Socialists are known for caring about consequences so how can you explain your lack of care? Vague bullshit about principles.
If you had principles you'd primarily care who wins, not about making an impotent point to WoKe people, for whom you currently make rage bait posts literally more than 3 times per hour.
