Who gives a fuck? He's a spoiler candidate anyway.
It's politcal news, and this is a political news Lemmy community.
Again, who cares about a spoiler candidate?
103 comments for this article. Hmmm, I guess SOME people do care about a "spoiler candidate." Huh?
:)
Wow, a whole 17 upvotes. You must be so proud.
And over 100 comments! So I guess you were wrong, huh? Some people DO care. :)
Yeah, I am pretty proud actually. Because your negative comments seem designed to seed discontent. And I am standing up against them and people like you.
Me, and a growing number of people, are standing up against you and others who try to bully and belittle us all because we aren't voting for your candidate.
We're standing up to the duopoly. People who continually try to sow discontent and make it seem like we are evil.
We're not gonna stop. There are gonna be more posts. More anti-duopoly posts. More posts about candidates you don't want on the ballet.
Accept it. Or not. Your choice. But we have the right to make our opinions heard, to vote the way we want to, just as we support your rights to do the same.
So feel free to keep being negative and posting little snide remarks like, "Who cares about..."
We're still here. Your negative comments have changed nothing. :)

You think a few snide remarks will silence us? It’s clear that people do care, no matter how much you try to dismiss us.
I’m damn proud to stand up against the negativity you’re trying to spread. You and others like you want to sow discontent, to bully and belittle those of us who refuse to fall in line with your chosen candidate.
But here’s the truth: we’re not backing down. We’re rising up against the duopoly that’s kept us chained, against those who would have us believe that our voices don’t matter because they don’t echo yours.
This is just the beginning. There will be more posts, more voices speaking out against the broken system you defend. And yes, more candidates will emerge, whether you like it or not. We have every right to our opinions, to our votes, just as much as you do.
So go ahead, keep being negative, keep throwing out your snide remarks like “Who cares about…”
We’re still here. And we’re not going anywhere. Your words haven’t stopped us, haven’t even slowed us down. This is just the start, and we’re only getting louder.
Wow, so brave.
Wow, so brave.
You mean as compared to you saying, "who cares about a spoiler candidate?" And then finding out that there over a 100 comments on the article?
Yeah, definitely braver than that. :)
I'm sure. 4 days later and you're still griping about something as trivial and meaningless as comment counts and a comment that definitely hurt your feelings. Talk about weird.
Edit: 5 days later*

Nah. Actually someone else commented in this thread and I got an alert. As I was reading it, I noticed your old one and thought it would be fun to update you. Especially since your comment was meant to be smarmy and belittling.
So seeing just how wrong you were has been fun!
And again, it’s politcal news, and this is a political news Lemmy community.
Obviously some people care, because the article was written and read.
I didn't write the news, friend.
But you did post it, suggesting personal interest or perceived interest among readers here.
The article's existence doesn't grant it utility
But you did post it, suggesting personal interest or perceived interest among readers here.
And since it has at least 5 upvotes as of now and this thread has 65 comments in it, I guess that means some people were interested in it. Hmmmm...
I didn't say I agree with the top comment, I'm addressing the idea that this post was just among a firehose of completely arbitrary political articles, posted only for their existence.
I don't think that's true. I think you posted it because you are interested in 3rd party candidates. A fine and valid reason but let's not dance around it.
This is a political news community. I posted a political news article.
If you feel this breaks the community's guidelines for article posting, you can contact the mods. And if they agree that it breaks the community's rules they will remove it.
I posted it because it's political news. Or do you think that the only political news that should be posted is pro-democrat news? I'm confused about what you are trying to say.
No one, especially me, has said you broke any rules, or shouldn't have posted this or any other article.
I'm speaking to the motivation, which is a fine motivation to have. I don't think you post every single us politics article that is written, you have interests (which again is fine).

And that goes for the motivation of people posting the huge number of pro-democrat news articles. So I guess I'm not understanding your point.
I read an interesting news article, and posted it to a political news community.
I've read plenty of Harris articles too, but this sub is already filled with plenty of those. This is a diverse community, and I am adding to that diversity.
There's not secret plan or motivation on my part. I also post lots of non-political articles to other communities as well. Lemmy strives on people posting content. I did that.
