Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If it took only 10 seconds to post each time, and 20 seconds to make a comment, that means you have spent:
Or, 7.44 hours, in one month. That's almost 5% the amount of time people spend working full time. Almost a full work day. And these are extremely generous estimates that assume you are very fast. I have no doubt you have spent minutes responding to some of the comments calling you out.
A more realistic set of numbers would be
Or, 17.15 hours, in one month. That's almost 43% the amount of time people spend working full time. Over 2 full work days.
To calculate the number of times you submitted content per waking hour:
Or once every 20 minutes on average, assuming you sleep. Almost every single one promoting third party candidates. Totally and completely not sus, at all. Not even a little bit.
I don't have to explain anything to you. But keep posting stats because I am posting more articles. Thank you!
Of course. You would only explain why you post three times per hour
If the explanation would not get you permabanned.
I don't have to explain anything to you. Thanks!
But the fact is that if there were a legit reason, you would.
No one owes you an explanation for anything, You're demanding an explanation for someone else's actions the same way that Democrats demand votes from everyone. They're not entitled and you were not entitled.
I am a Dem and I'd really love that all citizens people vote. Be good if they took an active interest in our democracy. Your statement isn't entirely wrong it's just not entirely correct.
Not entirely wrong and not entirely correct makes perfect sense for someone with a hammer a sickle next to their username.
You saying I got some flare next to my handle!? Hell yeah! Can't see it on my lemmy client. Oh, you mean OP.
Removed, civility.
Thank you!
Nope. I don't have to explain anything to you. Stay as mad as you want. Under this username or your various other ones. But I owe you nothing. :)
You apparently are pretty confused. "you have to" and "you would" are extremely different phrases, and I never once implied they were similar. Only that you wouldn't need to pretend "the articles are interesting" is your motivation, in a context which implicates you as sketch af, if you weren't sketch af.
You'd simply explain it and avoid thousands of replies telling you how horrible you are. I guess it's possible you're a masochist who likes being insulted, but I think the other explanation is much more likely ;)
I don't care if "thousands" of people are telling me how "horrible" I am. I can post what I want as long as it fits the community guidelines. And I will continue to do so.
And I don't have to explain anything to you. Thank you!
Again, no one said you had to. But you would, if there weren't something insidious behind this bizarre behavior.
No I wouldn't, because I don't have to.
Your only principle is "if I have to do something, I'll do it, I guess".
rofl
I don't know what you mean. But I don't have to explain any of my personal views to you. Thank you!
Are you Donald Trump in disguise?
Ah so this is return2ozma alt!
I don't know what that means.
Well one thing's for sure, it's not a good thing. No ma'am, it's not a good thing at all.
Ok, I still have no idea what you all are even talking about, but ok
Probably just because you are bErZeRk
I don't know what that means, but this alt username of yours uses the same strange style of typing as your last one did.
Oh damn, you really are R2O, aren't you?
"I don't know what that means" and suddenly accusing someone else of running an alt (revealing that you did, in fact, understand what you were being accused of).
Exaggerated denial followed by a "I know you are but what am I?" deflection? Sus...
