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!

Come on, Monk. Everyone here is familiar with your long-winded Gish gallop comments at this point. I know Stein is doing the same song and dance she did in 2016, but that doesn't mean you can't innovate either.
He even has a transracial sub. Legitimately just for posting inflammatory shit to conflate with the trans movement. Same shit as trying to list pedos under the lgbtq+ movement.
This boy is hot garbage.
If you dig deep enough you'll find some blatant racist shit in one of the conservative comms too, unless it got nuked by a mod. I don't really care enough to go digging for it either.
Edit: oh here it is
(This is blatantly false, nothing in the law states this, it was doctored up by racists to drive immigrant hate)
Do a search and they've posted like 10 other articles to the conservative comm as well.
And also prempting Mr Monk as I know what he'll say: "I only post the articles!!!1!11!". Sure buddy. Sure.
I didn't write that article though.
And it was written by the New York Post. If you have issues with the article, take it up with them.
You love this line, it's your go to NPC response. You may not have written the article, but by posting it, you are promoting it.
You'll gish gallop around that fact, I'm sure. But you constantly post inflammatory articles and then claim that it's okay because you didn't write the article. It's not okay, and you're supporting the misleading and inflammatory content by doing that (but of course, you already know that).
But I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.
So, if you’re assuming I agree with every viewpoint in the articles I post, how does that even work when I share so many conflicting perspectives?!
I also created and mod a political news community where people have posted articles praising Harris, criticizing Stein, and trashing me—yet I still leave those up.

So how does this work with your theory? Is everyone here who posts a news article, "promoting"?
Right on schedule! Just as predictable as a broken record player.
Idk man. I usually read the articles I post and make sure to understand them before I go spamming. And I don't post intentionally false and misleading articles to communities with the somewhat transparent optics of trying to stir up shit. If you aren't understanding what your posting, you are at best unintentionally damaging honest discourse... but I think we both know your "playing dumb" act is a farce.
Have a good weekend.
How do you see what subs someone runs? Not saying you're wrong, just wanna see it for myself. That seems like a pretty crazy thing to do.
Dunno specifically how to do that. I just saw it because I browse by new in everything.
Edit: Found it! https://lemmy.world/c/transracial
Heh, thanks. Apparently he did it for me as well. What a concerning individual.
Incredibly.
And it's funny, I'm pretty sure he has a couple accounts. Any time I post something about him, as soon as he responds, I get multiple down votes at the same time.
I can vouch for the same thing, I've been quickly down voted into the negative deep in his chain of comments before. He totally does vote manipulation.
Oh so now I'm a vote manipulator?! hahahaha
Could it be that some people just disagree with you and agree with me?
Can you give me some links to where your comments with me have been "downvoted into the negative deep"? I'm not seeing your comments with me or in any of my post comment threads that show that.
I don't have multiple accounts, and I'm not seeing your downvotes. Try again, friend.
If you look at my profile, you'd see a section called "Moderates."
Here is my post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
Check out the transracial sub—it openly calls out the racists and bigots who show up, and I’ve posted actual articles from the scientific community discussing the legitimacy and growth of the transracial movement.
https://lemmy.world/c/transracial
If someone thinks the sub was created to promote racism or stir up trouble, then they’re missing the point entirely. It’s specifically supportive of both the transracial and transgender communities. Just because some people get upset when others identify as a different race doesn’t make it "fake" or "made up."
Ew. What is wrong with you? That is so extremely disrespectful.
No, I'm not asking you to answer my question, I'm asking you to re-examine your life.
What's disrespectful? I didn't make up the term nor the phenomenon.
I support any and all people who identify as whatever they want to. Sexually, mentally, emotionally, and racially. What part is disrespectful to you?
Are these people writing about it, "extremely disrespectful"? I

Maybe you should actually go check the transracial sub. Because it literally calls out racists and bigots who try to post there.
Anyone who thinks it was created to be racist or posts inflammatory stuff, is actually a racist or bigot. It's specifically pro-transgender and pro-transrace.
Just because some people here are mad that other people identify as a different race, doesn't mean it's fake or made up. The things you are saying and how angry you are about it is EXACTLY what transgender people had to put up with before things started to be taken more seriously.
You wanna call me a russian troll, fine. Calling me a racist, is BS. My mother is black. I am proudly biracial. So yeah, I'm calling you out on that bullshit.
Sure Jan
Glad you accept it. Thank you!
So I still wanna know, do the other posters that post anti-Stein articles and posts, get paid? I mean, YOU are anti-Stein, so does that mean you are getting paid in russian money too? Now you are making me wonder about your motivations. Can you clarify?
I'm not even voting for her, but your talk about russian money, even with anti-Stein articles is making me wonder about you. Because I gave you pretty big list explaining stuff, and all you can do is mention Stein again. Hmmmm... Curious....
