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!

I'm starting to notice a trend with your posts.
ha,
So it looks like they have averaged over 28 downvotes per hour since they joined.
That's about a downvote every couple of minutes. If they weren't evil it might almost be impressive.
How do you see that? I'm kinda curious about my score now lol
im running an mbin instance over at https://moist.catsweat.com where that is the standard hover-view for users

Aw I can't see it i get 404 not found when I click on that.
I'm gonna guess that it's mostly positive because I'm not a Trump supporter like monk.
it looks like lemmy is bastardizing (attempting to make the url localized) my url
try and copy this into an address bar, but remove the pace before the @lemm.ee: "https://moist.catsweat.com/u/@TransplantedSconie @lemm.ee"
I'm actually a socialist party supporter.
I'm not voting for Trump though. Thank you!
You effectively are, though.
They will do so literally as well.
Thank you for the shoutout! :)
yeah, he is a paid asset
Nah, probably does it for free due to his (very poorly concealed) ideology.
And is almost certainly a cisgender, heterosexual male, and my bet is that they're actually Mormon.
I've never concealed my ideology.
Thanks for sticking up for me!
And I'm a Mormon Satanist, as I've said in my username and profile. So you're partially correct.
Thank you!
Yes and I'm a gay-straight.
Wouldn't that just be bisexual then 😂
Nonono, see that would make sense. What we must do is claim to be things that don't actually make sense but are awkward for people to criticize. That way you get to boldly admit to being a fraud in the open, but no one can call you on it. It's fucking brilliant.
There's no such thing, and you are not a satanist. I grew up in Utah, and the way you act (with the fake niceness, supporting the right wing by voting third party, and not listening to those outside of your community) comes off as 100% Mormon, and nothing else.
Your next line: "You don't get to tell me what I believe"
You don’t get to tell me what I believe. I can believe anything I want to. Thank you! :)
Yes, that's the line!!
How much do you think I get paid!?
According to the other person up the chain about 28 downvotes per hour, which I can only assume is giving you a strange mix of parasocial & psychological gratification that you clearly aren't getting from real world relationships.
Not enough to be believable, apparently.
Too much
OK! Thank you!
