Claiming that not voting for Harris means supporting Trump is flawed; using that logic, anyone who isn’t voting for Trump must be supporting Harris.

Voting for a third-party candidate is a choice to support what aligns with your values, not an automatic endorsement of the opposition.

Because if you advocate for third parties, you’re a stealth Trump supporter pretending to actually care.

Nah. If I wanted to support Trump, I'd just vote for him. But I didn't vote for him. I voted third party. Happily! Thank you!

Yep, people here call me privileged too.

Um, I'm biracial, bisexual, and barely make above minimum wage. But because I disagree with some on here, I'm "privileged." lmao

I'm with you, friend. Stay strong and don't let this community bully you into changing yourself! I support you!

Well, more and more people are pushing back against those thoughts. I'm see lots of people tired of waiting and going for third party this year. And it's awesome to see!

Yep! I voted for a different socialist candidate, but I really like de la Cruz. She's awesome.

Preach, friend!

hahahah, yep!

Because I don't think my sources are bullshit.

I didn't ask the mods to cull anything. I merely said that IF the mods decide that Newsweek isn't a valid source, then I won't post any Newsweek articles. Thanks, friend! :)

What words do you have that I was trolling and attacking people?

I'd love for this instance to do away with up/down votes. But so many here like to use it as weapon, I don't see that changing.

You make some good points. I don't know much about scripts or bots or API. But it is weird how quickly many of my posts and comments get downvoted, even in other communities. And in fact, many in those other communities often wonder why I get so many downvotes since it's unrelated to content or context.

So you may be right. But I don't care. The downvoters are just mad because I have different views than them.

It won't stop me from posting or comment. Thanks friend! :)

Friend, I love that you keep standing up to yourself. That user calls everyone who disagrees with him a "russian shill." And he's had plenty of comments removed for incivility.

Good on ya, for staying strong!

Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you, friend.

There are many in here who think it's fun to downvote every single thing I say, regardless of content or context.

So just ignore it. You haven't done anything wrong. Thanks, friend! :)

Right?!

You bring up some great points.

I don’t have any issues with you disagreeing with me—that’s your right. But it seems like you’re treating Lemmy as a small, unchanging community, and you’re viewing my posts, which you even admitted are “minor" pollution, as a reflection of bigger societal issues like social media.

I think you’re focusing on me because I’ve become an outlet for your frustration about those larger problems.

Here’s the thing: I’m not the cause or the solution to that. Wanting me banned because you don’t like the potential changes my presence might bring to your idea of this community is unreasonable. There are far worse people online deliberately causing problems, and I’m not one of them.

Despite your assumptions about me, you’re wrong. I’ve always been open about my interest in political news, and I’ve posted articles from all perspectives. This community doesn’t need more pro-Harris content because it’s already overflowing with it.

So, no, I don’t take your accusations to heart. You’re afraid of change, particularly what you see as negative change, and I’ve somehow become the face of that for you. But banning me or seeing me leave isn’t going to fix anything.

And honestly, if everything you said were true, you could block me.

But here’s my theory—and it's just a theory, not an accusation: You’re so annoyed by me that you won’t block me because you secretly enjoy watching people jump on me. You’re waiting for that big moment when I get banned or called out, or better yet, give up.

But, like those who think I’ll disappear after the election, you’ve got me wrong.

I enjoy using Lemmy and I’m here to stay. I value its potential to avoid becoming an echo chamber. I like hearing dissenting voices, even if I don’t always agree.

In my view, you’re longing for the "good old days" of Reddit, where niche communities felt untouched by the general public.

You might see me as someone mucking up what you love, but I disagree. Lemmy is more than just this one community, and I plan to keep using it across different communities and I'm on many different instances.

Whether you like it or not, change is coming—but I’m not the one bringing the negative aspects of it.

Thank you, friend! :)

Meh, I always think it's good to keep trying. But yeah, to your point, the odds are not in Dems favor.

Dude is gonna lose millions. I think it's hilarious!

Yep!
