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.

I'm still not voting for either one of them. :)
Translation: "I'm too privileged to care about who wins this election."
Oh, they’ve said repeatedly that they are “not afraid of Trump winning” and the statements about the dangers of another Trump are “fear-mongering” and “exaggerations.”
Absolutely screams only the kind of privilege you see in middle class, white, cis, hetero males. Honestly sort of surprised they’re not spouting Ayn Rand bs, but definitely the same vibe.
Nah, brah, they are a TrAnSrAcIaL mOrMoN sAtAnIsT who recently went from being a viking on their profile to a Skyrim-style cool ass black warrior. This is how you know they are completely real and not fake in any way. And don't you forget it -- this mother fucker is 100% WoKeFrEe!
Thanks for the summary! Still voting third party. Thank you!
Well, I guess since you thanked me for it, the summary is 100% accurate. Good to know, friend!
Thanking you for something doesn't mean you got it right. But you tried. So hey, as long as you are trying, friend.
I'm still not voting for you candidate. :)
That’s okay, no one with any brains is voting for yours. Since you switched from Stein, your candidate won’t even crack .05%. So while half the country may vote against my candidate, at least 99.95% aren’t voting for yours.
Well then you have no reason to get mad or worry about anything, right? I mean, our numbers are so pitiful, you have no reason to be upset. :)
I mean, other than the fact that you’re obviously so privileged — as you’ve said so often — to not be afraid of Trump winning. And then so oblivious, callous, and dismissive of other people who are justifiably worried that you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to persuade folks that voting third party in the presidential race is a justifiable idea.
And unfortunately third party wankers do have both a chance at helping Trump win AND having no chance to win themselves. Or did you already forget the fine print in the Quinnipac poll you yourself posted this morning? So there is a great moral peril and a frivolous display, and actual adults should have no trouble telling one from the other.
What do you mean by privileged? I'm not in the demographic that you tried to portray as privileged.
You do realize that people of all colors vote for Trump, right? Do you think that ONLY white middle class people vote for Trump?! lol
I can spend as much time as I want to and do whatever want. Besides, you were just mocking how "pitiful" the numbers of third parties were. And now you are saying that you're worried about how much time I spend on here talking about third parties?! hahahahah Which is it?
You seem really afraid of voters having choice. I'm not afraid of that at all. I'm proudly voting third party.
And I'll keep posting what I want, where I want, when I want. No matter how much you don't like it. Thank you! :)
I never said you were in that demographic. Try reading what I wrote again, but slower.
As for Trump supporters, maybe you’re too naive to know this already but we know exactly what demographics they’re most likely in:
And again, people of all colors vote for Trump. Do you think that ONLY white middle class people vote for Trump?! lol
And you did compare me to them. And you were implying that that demographic was shameful. And I'm not even in that demographic. But what you implied...Ewwwww...
Try reading what I wrote again, but slower.
Quite clearly I don’t as I just posted the actual information as to who is voting for him.
And no, I said “Absolutely screams only the kind of privilege you see in middle class, white, cis, hetero males.” So if that’s your demographic or not, the kind of privilege you give constant voice to is an often associated with that demographic. Or are you once again denying that demographic has historically “othered” everything else? Bold play, if so my friend.
Are you saying that only middle class, white, cis, hetero males are privileged. Why even bring color and sexuality in it?! Um, I see what you are doing and it's gross, friend.
I quite clearly did not say anything close to that as you know. Falling back on more trolling? Now I’m disappointed, bud.
I disagree. And I don't know why you even brought sexuality and color into the conversation. Tells me your true motivations. Ewwww.
As all you can do tonight is whatever weird trolling thing you’re doing, I’m afraid I must go for now.
Hope you bring your A game when I come back later. I know you can do better!
It's against community rules to falsely accuse someone of trolling. Please try to be civil. You may disagree with me and my opinions, but that doesn't mean I'm trolling. Thank you!
Doubt it. The campaign you've embarked here would not make much sense for you do engage in if you were going to do so.
So are you saying those are bad things? Are you trying to judge or shame people for how they were born or their skin color?! Why did you bring race and sexuality into this?!
Wow. Just wow. Pretty icky. I can't take anything you say seriously now. You are showing your true colors.
The are obviously saying it's gross that you would let other people suffer since you apparently belong to a group of people that won't suffer for your actions. But sure, go ahead and cram a bunch of words in someone's mouth in an effort from distract from what you are doing.
Ha! You are a precious snowflake my friend! I offered no condemnation or even opinion on any of those things. Strange that’s where your mind went to though.
I just suggested that you evidenced the kind of privilege really only ever seen amongst a certain demographic. Are you saying people in that demographic aren’t privileged? Are you denying the systemic oppression to women and people of color? The enforced economic disadvantage on the poor and working class?!
It’s almost laughable that you call yourself a socialist.
I'm not even in the demographic that you tried to mock me with. Do you think all people in that demographic are privileged?!
I'm not denying oppression of women or color. My mother is black. I don't even know why you are bringing those things up.
I'm starting to see your true colors. Ewww...
Ah yes - “Pretend confusion followed by dramatic exaggerated disgust (from obvious twist of words)”
Playing the classics!
I don't know what you mean.
Oh, is there a reading comprehension problem on your end? My apologies! What words do you need help with?
I'm not sure what you mean by that. What are you even trying to imply?!
Reported for trolling
Ok. And I still don't know what you mean by the remark. If you or the mods think that is trolling, then hey, you are free to believe what you want.
But still doesn't change the fact that I have no idea what you mean or what it is that you are trying to say.
Don't care. Still not voting for either one of them. :)
You know all of Lemmy can see right through you, right? Just say you want Trump to win and we can all move on.
If I wanted Trump to win, I'd vote for him. But I'm not voting for him. Thank you!
If you care so little about the performance of the 2 major parties of the US electoral system, why did you even bother to post the original article?
It's political news, this is a political news sub. I didn't write the write the article.
Posting to Lemmy is always optional, if you find an article you're apathetic about you don't actually have to post or crosspost it. Try again.
It is optional. And if I see an article I think is interesting, I am perfectly free to post it. See how that works? :)
Copypasta never fails
Nope.
Yeah dude, we know you don't care.
Like the other person said... We all see through you. You'd be making better use of your time shilling somewhere else.
Well if you seem to think I am making poor use of my time, then you shouldn't be afraid of what I am posting. You have nothing to worry about, right?!
So is every poster that posts a news article here, "shilling"? Because if so there seem to be a lot of shillers for Harris.
I support and respect your right to vote for who you want to. And you support and respect my right to vote for who I want to, right?
