    I’m glad that I am so important to you, that you keep statistics about me.

    To be fair, anyone working as hard as you to get Trump in office again is important to me. But I don’t keep statistics on you. Lemmy does that. All I did was take two seconds to do a calculation.

      It’s almost hilarious that you’d accuse a staunch socialist like me of trying to get Trump elected. The absurdity of it all is almost too funny!

      But, I have to admit, your relentless effort to sow confusion and distrust towards anyone challenging the capitalist duopoly is starting to make me wonder… maybe you’re the one working for Trump.

      After all, you’re doing an awfully good job of trying to keep people locked into the very system that gave us Trump in the first place.

        Whatever your goal is, and whatever Stein’s goal is, the result of your, and her, efforts is most likely to be another Trump term and the completion of the Palestinian genocide and possibly the end of the American democracy. Well, I guess that would be the end of the capitalist duopoly you keep raging against. So, yay you, I guess.

          So let me get this straight—you think that by daring to challenge the corrupt, entrenched system, by refusing to bow down to the same tired politicians who offer nothing but crumbs to the working class, we’re somehow responsible for the horrors committed by the very system we’re fighting against?

          You think it’s our fault if the Democrats, with all their power, can’t muster the courage to stand up to Trump and his ilk? Like, what?! The real danger isn’t in challenging the duopoly; it’s in allowing it to continue unchecked, doing just enough to keep people quiet while the wheels of oppression grind on.

          I for candidates like Rachele Fruit of the Socialist Workers Party, who actually fight for the people. If that terrifies you, maybe it’s because deep down, you know that this system can’t hold forever, and real change is coming whether you like it or not.

            You point to your comments and post showing how staunch of a socialist you are but you hand wave your posts to other communities.

            Which is it?

            Proof or a nothingburger?

              I’m done wasting my time trying to convince you that I’m not a Republican, that I don’t live in Russia, or that despite posting hundreds of socialist articles to the socialist community, I’m somehow not a socialist. If that’s what you want to believe, fine, go ahead.

              If you’re getting worked up over a news article I didn’t even write, that’s on you. Be mad if you want, but it’s not my job to prove anything to you. I’ll share my opinion, and you can take it or leave it. Either way, not my problem.

                You are ignoring the big message, which has nothing to do with who you’re affiliated with - that voting for fringe spoiler candidates can and does lead to an outcome opposite of the ideals the voter may hold.

                Don’t dance around that - perhaps learn something from it; but at least address it head on.

                  I posted an article that’s already widely available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy. I didn’t write it or create the content. It’s already out there for anyone to see, so all I did was share it here for discussion. If you disagree with the article itself, that’s fine, but calling for it to be censored or accusing me of pushing an agenda simply because it’s not what you want to read seems misguided. Open debate requires different perspectives, not shutting down content you don’t like.

                    I didn’t call for it to be censored. You are 100% pushing for an agenda, and arguing in support of it in other posts. You’re dodging the point raised and engaging in hypocrisy by yourself shutting down a debate because you don’t agree with it.

                    mass pasting an irrelevant response to people replying to you certainly doesn’t make you look like a good-faith participant.

            We can discuss the article here, thanks, and the overwhelming consensus seems to be that Jill Stein and her supporters are working against their own goals due to the structure of the electoral system. People are commenting on the articles you post making arguments about their basis and merit, and to have a discussion among themselves and you, the poster bringing these ideas.

            Now, you’ve retreated to a position of “I just copy articles around so don’t involve me”, which is disingenuous. You are an active participant in choosing and distributing this content.

              In the past, when I’ve tried to defend myself, people accuse me of not listening. If I stay quiet, they take it as guilt.

              Here’s the deal: I’m still going to post what I want in this community because what I’m posting fits within the theme and guidelines of this community which celebrates diversity of thought and opinion.

              So, go ahead and expect me to copy and paste this comment into the many, many arguments you’re going to try and start. Whether you believe me or not, it’s not my job to prove anything to you. I’ll share my opinion, and you can take it or leave it. Not my problem. :)
