Hey, would the opposite work?
If AOC and friends managed to push something thru to defund arms supplies to Israel, would that force them to stop?

That's a good point. So the ROK should work closely with Ukraine in order to try and bridge the gap on the other end...
Agreed, but on the flip side, they likely don't want the stain of this war on anything that can be termed "Korean".
... why? Like, will that have any effect at all? (Spoiler: nope)
Actually, your script goes a long way to convincing me the account is not a bot or shared account but a regular person.
~111 mins / day
So the guy gets a full 8 hours of sleep, does a full 8 hours of work at a job and has a reasonable commute, spends less than 2 hours on the fediverse, and still has quite a few hours of personal time for other things like catching the latest movie?
(Alternatively, guy works at home, checks in on the fediverse frequently on his work computer while also doing his regular job, and maybe stays logged on for 10 hours a day instead of the required 8 to make up for the difference.)
It's certainly possible that this is a guy who is a GOP and MAGA supporter, and is being less than fully honest about his motives in promoting third parties.
But it's also possible that what's written on the tin is in fact accurate - he's a person who dislikes the duopoly in the US and wants to vote 3rd party no matter what, and wanting to share his thoughts on the election in an unfiltered way.
Which one is the truth? I'll let you, the voter, decide.
But, that aside, I think this comment from our mod explains it best,

The consensus is, yes, they have shitty opinions, but having shitty opinions is not against the TOS.
The comments and downvotes do their job exposing just how shitty their opinions are.
Agreed. Even from the reason article itself,
it is clear that Trump, contrary to the gloss offered by the Times, was talking about rioting by "radical left lunatics," as opposed to peaceful protests
Except that the quote that they give is this one,
I think the bigger problem is the enemy from within—not even the people that have come in and destroyed our country, by the way, totally destroying our country. The towns, the villages, they're being inundated. But I don't think they're the problem in terms of Election Day.
I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people, radical left lunatics. And I think they're the—and it should be very easily handled by—if necessary, by [the] National Guard or, if really necessary, by the military, because they can't let that happen.
Which has no mentioning of rioting or violence. The implication is clear - he'd be willing to sic the military on nonviolent dissidents.
Most voters think the economy is poor, but split on whether Trump or Harris can fix it: AP-NORC poll
11.6% of their waking hours
Hadn't realized it was so little.
and fully opposite anything resembling a leftist goal.
Is this a leftist politics magazine? Or was it intended to be more neutral? If it was named /m/VoteBlue or something then that's make more sense - but in fact I see there are separate magazines for moderate politics and progressive politics (that this one is partnered with).
it’s been beyond clear for two months that this user intends to sway it,
I mean that's probably true for most of us as well. (We want to sway it to a Harris win, naturally.)
lemmy.ml banned this user yesterday for being a troll. Isn’t it about time that lemmy.world did also?
I'm not sure lemmy.ml is the best example to follow here. Lots of users block the instance outright because of their censorship policies.
Ironically, a ban from lemmy.ml is likely a point in favour of this user - as tankies seem unlikely to be the type to ban a Russian troll on the Russian gov't payroll, strongly suggesting that this user is in fact not that.
There probably is, but you can use a VPN to hide the ip address. There's probably a way to disable or pull out the builtin GPS detector too.
With starlink terminals, things have even escalated to GPS spoofing. So expect that Apple will cooperate but that the other side will also have ways of fighting back.

It's not a bad idea but in the end they'll likely find a way around that.
This article made me feel sick inside.
Nice, brilliant! They will get taken down eventually - as they are genuine fake reviews.
Still? They're still pushing this?
After all this time, the only gov't agency that still has records from that long ago is the SSA, and it takes a minimum of six months to pull them down (and likely would take a year or two). So we're not likely to get any updates until long after the election is over. Maybe in time for the 2028 campaigns.
