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
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!

Agreed.
So anyway, god bless Chase Oliver, Jo Jorgensen, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, and all other right-wing spoiler candidates. We thank you for your service o7o7o7
Also, we had this exact same conversation a few weeks ago, and it's ...interesting... that it followed the exact same dialogue tree and not at all suspicious of the integrity of your account... 🤔
This guy openly admits that he "Doesn't care if Trump wins".
At a bare minimum we know that Genocide and Fascism aren't dealbreakers...
That plus the constant scripted propagandizing? Definitely a Trump Supporter...
Correct. I'm not afraid of him.
Nope. If I were a Trump supporter, I would vote for him. Thank you!
Congratulations on being privileged enough not to be affected by his policies. The rest of us recognize that many people will needlessly die under his and Republican leadership in general. Your issue is you don't think you'll be one of them, and you only care about yourself.
Congratulations on being so afraid of him that you support the duopoly that very much relies on you remaining afraid of any choices but theirs!
Half of the country is not voting for your candidate. So are they all just horrible people then? Welcome to democracy, friend.
Screaming hot take, apparently: If you know about Project 2025 and are fine that it might actually happen if Trump wins because it won't affect you, then you just might be a horrible person.
Imagine not caring that books are going to get banned and trans kids are going to get taken from their supportive families. Imagine watching Fascism taking over your country and not giving a shit.
There's a word for people who don't care if the Nazis win. They're called Nazis.
No reason to think it's their country or that they don't specifically want this exact thing
Are you implying that I'm a nazi simply because I'm not voting for Harris?
Are you calling the entire half of the United States of America, who are voting for Trump, Nazis!?
Say what, mate?!
You seem confused though. See, no Nazis are running for president. Do you know what year this is?
Actually it doesn't matter. Your implications and accusations are so disgusting, I won't be interacting with you.
The hatefulness of your comments and comparing me or other voters to Nazi's is has gone too far.
People like you make me very very happy and proud that I am voting Socialist. I want nothing to do with you and your hate.
Feel free to reply on every post and comment of mine, but I won't see it. Because I've blocked you. Ewww.
Shame on you.
Comparing people who disagree with you to Nazis downplays the real horrors and atrocities committed by the Nazis.
It trivializes what they actually stood for and the immense suffering they caused. Be careful with your words and focus on meaningful dialogue rather than throwing around such extreme accusations.
Let’s not water down history for the sake of an argument. We get it, you're mad I'm not voting for your candidate. Ok, move on. But implying people are Nazis because they are not voting for Harris, is too much. Even for you.
People like you make me very very happy and proud that I am voting Socialist. I want nothing to do with you and your hate.
Disgusting. I've blocked you so I won't see your horrid reply. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I don't have to prove anything to you. Trump won't win.

You can't predict the weather. Saying for sure that the election is going to go in any particular direction in a public forum is highly irresponsible. Just because you don't want to take an election seriously doesn't mean no one should.
P.S.: The statement at the end is highly pompous, sounds like an AI wrote it, and fails to contribute to the conversation at hand.
No it's not. Do you think that Lemmy members are that weak-minded?
No it's not. And you think a sentence I wrote telling you to message the news org or mods is an AI message?! Ok.
Every time you accuse me of being "afraid of Trump", you're just further validating everyone's suspicion that you are a Trump supporter trying to sow discord.
Believe what you want to believe friend. I don't have to prove anything to you. Feel free to block me if I annoy you that much.

And I haven't changed my mind. That's not "suspicious," that's me not changing my mind.
You haven't changed your mind, does that mean your account is suddenly "suspicious"?
