No empathy for anyone who voted for this and gets burned. The hard truth is they want the subjugation to happen. Otherwise they would have voted for anyone else.

Lemmy is such an echo chamber that the terminally online here can't fathom the idea of someone voting against their own interests. But go out and talk to some people, you'll find them.

Who???

Lol please calm down

You can spare Lemmy the whataboutisms with this one. Everyone is taking a little money from everyone else, but:

Neo-fascists absolutely prefer giving to the Republican Party above all other major parties and vice versa. It's an open-and-shut case. Hardliners in the party routinely echo anything and everything that gets them brownie points from dictators and the country's most degenerate billionaires.

The Democratic Party is not perfect (Israel being the elephant in the room, but make no mistake, Bibi 100% wants Trump back in office). But if anyone is pushing back against the return of fascism the most it's the Dems. And you can see that in hostilities from Republicans and authoritarian governments alike.

The Green Party's main candidate accepted gifts from the Russian Federation through their news network RT, which is basically a propaganda machine for the government which owns them. Stein's ads openly said in 2016 that the Greens wanted Hillary to lose, fearmongering nuclear war with Russia. And this year it's the same old shit with her: just make the Dems lose.

(Side note, Sputnik hired PSL's Eugene Puryear as a long-time host. Also, PSL also has absolutely insane foreign positions. Like I'll be the first to say the West is absolutely an imperfect cultural entity, but you don't gotta just hand it to Putin or Kim Jong Un because they also have a problem with the hegemony.)

"Anything to beat the 'duopoly' of political parties, even if the party is tainted by neo-fascist dark money!"

Absolutely wild mental gymnastics lol

1: You are "poking the bear" because everything you post to this community is pursuant to getting Harris to lose the election, either through pro-PSL or Green articles (via the Spoiler Effect), or through explicitly anti-Harris articles. That's the pattern behind your posts, it obviously doesn't matter how reputable a source is to you so long as you can flood Lemmy with this content. "Take it up with them" is a copout for your behavior because you choose to post their articles here.

2: You clearly don't know what astroturfing even means. What could pro-Harris posts even astroturf for?

3: Repeatedly posting articles about getting Harris to lose the election and arguing in bad faith in defense of why that's actually good for advancing socialism in the US is toxic because it's literally incorrect. And when pointed out, you say you don't actually think a second Trump term would be all that bad for you. It's patently obvious what you're trying to do on here, you're trying to get leftists on board with neo-fascism and accelerationism to enrich yourself.

I think actively trolling people by arguing in bad faith or through astroturfing like this is definitely poisoning the community. It shouldn't be tolerated for tolerances' sake. And I'm not saying to just ban people you don't agree with. I'm saying people who obviously just post to poke the bear, so to speak, should face discipline for trying to turn Lemmy toxic.

For everyone else reading, this is the mask off moment of this poster's true intentions with the incessant propaganda.

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.

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?

You know all of Lemmy can see right through you, right? Just say you want Trump to win and we can all move on.

Translation: "I'm too privileged to care about who wins this election."
