  • They're back and posting BS! Jill (a Russian asset) is still more evil than Kamala, so it really doesn't matter what she thinks. I can't wait until the election is over so that you stop posting about the candidate that will lose.

    • Emphasis on this point.

      Jill Stein has NO path to victory. She would require a 50%+1 majority in at least 270 EV worth of states. She doesn't even have 10% of the vote share in any state. Thus a vote for her is only marginally better than a vote for Trump, and about as effective as staying home on Election Day.

      This particular poster's shiny object, Rechele Fruit, has even LESS of a chance. This candidate would require 50%+1 in three states, plus a successful write-in campaign for 50%+1 in another nine states (has that EVER happened in a SINGLE state) to get 87 EVs, a far cry from the 270 she needs to be elected. A vote for her is a fart in the wind. She doesn't even make the polling.

      One of two people will take the Oath of Office in 2025. If you don't want Donald Trump and Project 2025 shoved up our privates, vote Harris. If you don't want Harris, for whatever reason, may you suffer the consequences of Project 2025 particularly harshly, though I doubt many of the shi...err, posters who post here bashing Harris and the Dems will have to suffer the consequences of their claimed votes.

      • I mostly agree, with one correction:

        Thus a vote for her is only marginally better than a vote for Trump

        It isn’t. A vote for her IS a vote for trump, because FPTP voting means a (fake) non-right candidate can only siphon votes from the left.

        Here’s a great video that shows why, mathematically, she can only help trump win, and explains why a lot of Stein’s money comes from Republican (and Russian) interests. She’s not grass-roots, and she’s not left-leaning. Saying she’s a Russian asset is not hyperbole.

        She’s not marginally better than trump – she’s actively anti-democratic.

        e: my autocorrect really hates me today.

      • Meh, I'm not voting for Stein. Or Harris. Or Trump. So I'm not worried. But thanks for the shoutout for "Rachele" Fruit!

        • So you have no dog in this fight. Maybe sit this one out, champ, and stop trying to persuade others to follow your anti-democratic example.

          For the rest of us, please vote! And bring friends with you! Every vote matters. We need all hands on deck.

          • Maybe sit this one out, champ, and stop trying to persuade others to follow your anti-democratic example.

            Me saying who I am voting for, isn't "trying to persuade others."

            I have always said, and will continue to say, people should vote for who they want to. Yes, I encourage everyone to vote for and vote for who they want to, and not allow themselves to be bullied into making a decision they are not comfortable with.

            So nah, not sitting this one out. Thank you!

            • You constantly making posts and comments pushing for, again, a clear Russian plant whose entire purpose is to prop up a candidate who has already committed treason twice and who has openly admitted he will end democracy is not benign. Your contributions have, so far, not contributed to healthy discourse, but have been pretty obviously made with the intention to promote division.

              If that’s who you are, just own it. If it’s not, take a step back and examine your motives.

              Here are some sources for you:

              Russians launched pro-Jill Stein social media blitz to help Trump win election, reports say

              FPTP Voting

              And – this one is crucial – how to productively redirect your efforts, if you’re in fact sincere: FairVote Action, an actual grass-roots org working to get rid of the FPTP system to make democracy actually fair.

              If you take nothing else from my comments, at least look at that last link. Your energy would be far better served there than what you’re doing now. Be the change you want to see.

              • I'm not voting for Jill Stein, though.

                And I’m not pushing her as a candidate, and I’m definitely not telling people who to vote for. I trust the American public to make their own decisions based on what they believe, for whatever reasons matter to them.

                I don’t write the articles; I just post links to them. It’s up to each person to decide if they want to click and read or ignore it entirely.

                Be the change you want to see.

                Oh I am being the change i wanna see. I want to see diversity of political thought without bullying. Thank you!

                • What country do you live in?

                  • Be the change you want to see.

                    Oh I am being the change I wanna see. I want to see diversity of political thought without bullying.

                    What county do I live in? I'm here in the US. Where do you think I am?! lol

                    Friend, I've been voting since before you were born. I've been voting since 1988.

                    • lol. Friend, I’m older than you. Stop assuming things about people.

                      You said you’re not voting. Why are you relentlessly pushing Stein? Be honest.

                      • Oh well if you ARE older than me, then my apologies. Because it's usually people 30 years younger yelling at me. But you are right, I made that assumption.

                        And I didn't say I'm not voting, I said I'm not voting for Stein. I've always been honest.

        • Ah, but the result of your vote will be the same.

    • Reuters news service wrote a political news article. I thought it was interesting. So I posted it. That's it. Nothing nefarious going on.

      And I'll do the same thing after the election when I see interesting political news articles. There is no conspiracy here.

      • Everyone here can already see right through you, as you can see by the comments. You continue to use the "I didn't write the article" excuse while almost exclusively posting content that will get Trump elected. It's not hard to see, you're pretty bad at it.

        • It’s not hard to see, you’re pretty bad at it.

          Well, then you have nothing to worry about or be mad about. So yay!

        • Me not writing the article isn't an excuse. It's a fact. Seriously, write to Reuters if you feel they are doing the public a disservice by writing articles like this. Thank you!

          • I'm writing you for doing the public here on lemmy a disservice by posting pro-Trump content. It has nothing to do with Reuters.

            • And I am disagreeing with you and I won't stop posting articles. Thank you.

              • You certainly had to stop posting articles when you got banned for sealioning (trolling).

                • Well, I stopped posting articles here to this one community. But were you under the impression that I stopped posting articles to other communities and even other Lemmy instances? https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

                  • Nope, we're not in other communities or instances. We're here. Add it to the sealioning pile.

                    • You said I had to stop posting. And I mentioned that I didn't stop posting, only that I didn't post to this one community. Lemmy is a large place. Lots of different instances too. I was plenty busy this weekend on Lemmy and it was awesome! :)

                      Just a note: You can block me and you won't have to see anything I post or comment on.

                      Thank you!

                      • Hmm, I don't see where I told you to stop posting. I said you're doing the public a disservice by posting pro-Trump content.

                        Just a note: I won't block you, because I want to see the immensive amounts of downvotes you get. It brings a smile to my face, knowing that most people here are smart and actually care. Usually, I do block people like you, but you're a special case!
