    Hmm… I wonder why a certain user who’s been posting non-stop about third-party candidates for the entire lifespan of their account chose to ignore this particular article. One would assume it’s important for the voting public to know about this, no?

              They’re ecstatic to be on the same team as Duke, but as usual everything they say is meaningless bullshit with about the same value as a 10 second long wet fart

                Stein’s campaign says it wants nothing to do with Duke, the former American Nazi Party member

                Stein’s campaign manager, Jason Call, disavowed the endorsement and called Duke “trash.”

                  As funny as it is, I think really that is where it can stop. Someone abhorrent said they support someone, that person said, no. No means no.

              Dude, I didn’t even post the article. Maybe you can ask the person who did? Did you even look at the name of the poster?!

              And what is there to “defend”? NBC News wrote an article that David Duke endorses Stein. I didn’t write it, produce it, edit it, publish it, or even post it to Lemmy. I have nothing to do with this article being on Lemmy.

              Exactly what part do you want defended? That NBC news talked to someone? I’m unclear on what you’re trying to ask me to do. Thanks!

                You constantly try to defend Stein and 3rd party voting. YOU posted the same exact article, remember, you linked to it. So I was giving you a chance to respond to the article on here that had traction vs your post that had zero. You didn’t, so that’s all I need to know.

                  What is there to respond to? I didn’t write the article. And I didn’t post “the same exact article” either. There is no rule that we have to “respond” to articles that we post or don’t post.

                  This article reported some political news. This is a political news community. So people post political news articles.

                  Not sure what sort of “gotcha” moment you are looking for here. Are you trying to imply that just because some racist wacko inserted himself into the news and said that he supports Jill Stein, that it has anything to do with me?!

                  Or what is it that you’re looking for from me? I don’t understand.

        Unfortunately if I name this person there’s a good likelihood this discussion gets removed since the rules prohibit calling out bad faith actors, even the painstakingly obvious ones. So I’ll leave you with this: you needn’t look far to find that which you seek.

      Because it’s already been posted here and this community doesn’t allow duplicate posts. It’s also been posted in Politics Unfiltered.

      I don’t know what user you’re referring to, but I’ve commented in this thread. And I posted another article referring to David Duke and Jill Stein. https://lemmy.world/post/20893592

      I thought it was interesting, so I posted it. Thank you! :)

          Wait, I thought Lemmy was under the impression that I post every 17 minutes, 24 hours a day?! And that I’m a team of people. Oh AND that I’m a bot.

          So if all that’s true, how was I having a “busy” day at work?!

                Typical non-American crack head.

                I feel pity at your existence 🤷

            Woah hey now all I said was you probably had a busy day at work. A little weird to bring up bots and teams of bad actors dude, chill.

              People have said that about me. So I’m just wondering how all of those diverse viewpoints can be correct if I am at work and having a busy day.

                I don’t recall having brought any of that up? At any rate, it seems like whatever your occupation is, it’s pretty stressful. That sucks.

                  I didn’t say that you brought it up. I mentioned that many on Lemmy say that about me.

                  My job isn’t stressful at all. Thanks, friend! :)

            No, “Lemmy” isn’t under that “impression”. Are you trying to say your profile page is wrong, or that math is?

            If multiple people are guessing that you’re a bot or a paid propagandist you may see that as a sign you’re terminally online and should go explore the real world for a bit.

            Maybe you could develop a sense of personality and lose the burden of supporting a failed style of governance

            🤷 Idk, I’m not your dad.

Rules:

  1. 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.

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.

  3. 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.
