  • Claiming that not voting for Harris means supporting Trump is flawed; using that logic, anyone who isn’t voting for Trump must be supporting Harris.

    Voting for a third-party candidate is a choice to support what aligns with your values, not an automatic endorsement of the opposition.

  • Communities should not be overly moderated in order to enforce a specific narrative.

    Agreed. That's exactly what is killing Reddit. They ban/permaban so many people just for disagreeing with them.

  • Great points. Many Lemmy users think I'm a troll, because I have advocated for third parties in this year's election. And well, I get accused of being a "russian bot" a lot too. lol

    They say I post in bad faith. But I actually voted third party (socialist) and sent in my ballot this past weekend, I created and mod two socialist communities, and most of my posts skew socialist topics.

    So if I believe what I am saying and posting, am I really arguing in bad faith or trolling just because the majority of Lemmy doesn't agree with me?!

    Is it really "bad faith" just because Lemmy tried, yet didn't change my mind?

    So many lately are quick to shout "Troll!" or "Sealioning" when it's really just because the comment or post is an opinion not shared by a majority here.

    In my opinion, what makes Lemmy better that Reddit (so far!), is that it's NOT an echo chamber.

    For the record, I had some comments removed for "sealioning" and I legit had never heard the term before Lemmy and I had to look it up to even understand it. And I'm still not sure what it has to do with sealion or why that term was chosen.

    In fact, me saying I didn't understand it, was the very comment that got removed for sealioning. lmao

  • Because if you advocate for third parties, you’re a stealth Trump supporter pretending to actually care.

    Nah. If I wanted to support Trump, I'd just vote for him. But I didn't vote for him. I voted third party. Happily! Thank you!

  • Yep, people here call me privileged too.

    Um, I'm biracial, bisexual, and barely make above minimum wage. But because I disagree with some on here, I'm "privileged." lmao

  • I'm with you, friend. Stay strong and don't let this community bully you into changing yourself! I support you!

  • Well, more and more people are pushing back against those thoughts. I'm see lots of people tired of waiting and going for third party this year. And it's awesome to see!

  • Yep! I voted for a different socialist candidate, but I really like de la Cruz. She's awesome.

  • Because I don't think my sources are bullshit.

    I didn't ask the mods to cull anything. I merely said that IF the mods decide that Newsweek isn't a valid source, then I won't post any Newsweek articles. Thanks, friend! :)

  • What words do you have that I was trolling and attacking people?
