But I didn’t write it. And if it’s so obvious that it’s a “misleading fluff piece” then it wouldn’t sway anyone.
And actually since the news org wrote it, are you saying that the news org is writing fluff pieces for a third party? Are you going to contact the reporters and the editorial team to let your thoughts be known?
The only problem with blocking people like this is that they get to say their unmitigated bloviating BS without being countered. I considered blocking all these ‘concerned third party voters’, but decided against when someone pointed out to me that all that does is let them spew their nonsense unchecked.
So does that mean you think these third party news articles posted to Lemmy are actually swaying Lemmy voters?! Come on, now… lol
Do you honestly think that by people posting a third party article, that lots of Lemmy voters are gonna suddenly drop their Harris support and go pro-third party?!
Is that the big mission you are on? To put a stop to that? Seriously?
So if you DO believe that, then are you saying that people should NOT vote third party news? That people SHOULDN’T have access to other news or other opinions?
Dear reader, we got the Shitgibbon in 2017 because a very small fraction of our voters in each of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania (1.07% in MI, 0.81% in PA, 1.04% in WI) defected to the Green candidate. These states were lost by a narrower margin than the number of voters who voted Stein, allowing Trump to run roughshod over the country for 4 years, being a Russian Asset and damaging the fabric of our nation’s norms, making the place a worse place. It doesn’t take a lot of voters, and yes, I am worried that some Lemmy voters will read the trip this poster is posting and decide to give Stein a chance, like those voters did in 2016.
I can’t call this guy a moron because Rule 3, but I can say ‘if you vote third party in this election with what’s at stake, you’re a fucking moron’ as a general statement. Please make the smart choice. Don’t listen to this … poster.
Ah, I made the mistake of reporting with an alt what is clearly a deluge of either bad faith bullshit or straight propaganda, and got these posts hidden from me for me. Powers that be seem to want this type of content unchallenged.
Among some.
Harris leads among some.
Trump leads among some.
I lead among some.
Your momma leads among some.
Agreed. But I didn’t write the headline, nor did I write the article.
Wasn’t really talking to you directly. You just posted it. 🤷♂️
Fair point!
But you did post the dumb article. Enjoy the downcotes and a block from me
So articles that you don’t like shouldn’t be posted then? Is that what you are saying?
Maybe this community should ONLY have news articles that you personally agree with, right? Like an echo-chamber?
It’s not about agreeing or not agreeing with them, it’s the fact that it’s a misleading fluff piece and you full well know it.

I just post the news, I don’t write it, friend.

I support your right to your opinion, even tho I disagree with it.
I’ll keep posting, and I’ll keep voting third party! Thank you!

For someone who “isn’t voting for Jill Stein” you certainly post a lot of articles about her.
I don’t have to explain anything to you.
I didn’t ask you to.
Good. Because I don’t have to.
Glad that you’re finally learning.
Thanks. And thank you for learning that I am under no obligation to explain anything to you. So we’re friends now!
Apology accepted. But we’re not friends.
