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!

But you yourself have claimed you aren’t personally invested in a bunch of the articles you posted but thought others might be - usually whenever anyone calls you out. And posting robotically about the same subjects again and again in spaces where they are obviously not well received is weird. Diving deep into discussion threads you haven’t been taking part in to post spammy copypasta is bizarre. 1200 Posts and 2300 comments in less than 45 days is disturbing behavior. Sealioning so hard by calling everyone “friend” and not honestly engaging in discussions is not normal.
And please tell me you can tell the difference between “coordinated campaign against you” and enduring “universal hate”. It’s really not hard to see they’re not the same thing. If you’re pissing off most people every day, maybe most people aren’t the problem?
So, are you suggesting we should only post articles that everyone agrees with? You’re basically asking for an echo chamber, right? Personally, I prefer diversity in political opinions, but it sounds like you’d rather stick to just one side. Oh well.
I’m not required to explain anything to you. I post what I want, where I want, and when I want—there’s no rule against it on Lemmy. If you don’t like it, you’re welcome to block me. Simple as that, friend. :)
Once again you put words in someone else’s mouth. Try reading what I wrote again and tell me where I said anything you just said I said.
And there’s no rule against me constructively and respectfully calling out bullshit. It really is so odd that you act so obviously fragile that you can’t engage in any real or honest discussion, and instead fall back on copy pastes from other responses, what would appear to be walls of text written by an LLM, and/or the tried and true “nuh-uh! You are!”
If you find my critiques to be distasteful, you are of course free to block me again. It might be for the best considering how you react to essentially every bit of online interaction.
I'm under no obligation to explain anything to you, friend. Thank you!
