Former President Donald Trump was loudly and consistently booed throughout his speech Saturday at the Libertarian Party’s national convention, particularly when he asked attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me.”
“Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” Trump said. “Because the Libertarians want to vote for me … and it’s very important because we have to get rid of the worst president in history.”
Trump added, “Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years.” (In 2016, Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson earned more than 3% of the popular vote – a high point in the party’s history.)
Trump left the stage after 34 minutes, marking one of his shortest campaign speeches to date. The Libertarian Party is expected to select its presidential nominee Sunday.
I was told that OP was a Russian bot who only ever shits on Biden in an attempt to win the election for Trump by saying things centrists don't like on a small fledgling platform.
This doesn't seem to be shitting on Biden or the Russian propaganda that I've been told about.
You're gonna sit there and pretend that I'm not describing a broader pattern of behavior on lemmy (particularly this community) toward OP in particular?
Yet there isn't bullying. Those comments get removed. Calling people out on bs opinions isn't bullying. People using strong words isn't bullying. Grow some fucking skin, champ, this is the internet. And before you start crying about it, no, this is not bullying.
Don't tell me that. I know better. Tell it to the paranoid centrists whose immediate conclusion when they see someone say something that they don't want anyone to hear is that the person saying it must be a Russian bot.
okay, I should rephrase that. OP is either naive, clueless or disingenuous. It's just a little odd when "I'm so leftist!" people repeat the exact same shit as conservative propagandists, isn't it?
We know for a fact that there is propaganda on the internet produced by foreign and domestic influence organizations. I don't think it's mostly done by bots (some is) but rather people who are employed to do so.
And centrists are happy to use that as an excuse to treat anyone to their left and only their left like shit, on the grounds that anyone who disagrees with them must be some sort of foreign agent bent on electing trump and not just someone who is deeply dissatisfied with Biden.
I'm not clear on why you're so 'deeply dissatisfied'. Unfortunately, elections in the US have a lame-ass system where you don't get to choose an ideal candidate. You've already said you're voting for Biden. Good idea. In the meantime, trying to discourage other people from doing so isn't going to help the country out much.
It's hard to listen to one-dimensional, naive arguments - what is there to listen to? Oh, you think 60 years of US policy supporting Israel, and Israel deciding to assault Gazans after keeping them in an apartheid ghetto for years, is 100% Joe Biden's fault and he could just go against 95% of the US political establishment and stop it any time. This reminds me of people who act like the president directly sets gas prices. This 'centrist' thing is getting old, too.
