Yes you're right. There is no law against you starting an account to post a bunch of third party candidate shit right before the election. Therefore it cannot be suspicious.

Yes you’re right. There is no law against you starting an account to post a bunch of third party candidate shit right before the election. Therefore it cannot be suspicious.

Except for the fact that I post lots of stuff that is not third party.

Also I have posted articles about the Liberterian (see current articles for this very thread) and Constitution Party third parties, which actually would take votes AWAY FROM TRUMP.

So are you mad that I am posting articles that may help Harris and work against Trump? That makes you mad?

So are you a Trump fan then? Because I'm confused at why you would be mad that I am posting articles about parties that may take votes AWAY from the Trump campaign.

I've also created and mod several non-political Lemmy communities.

But that doesn't really fit the narrative that you are going for, does it?

Tell me, at what time does it stop being suspicious for posting stuff I follow and am interested in?

And why are you so upset that I posted an anti-Trump article?

It's pretty obvious to anyone looking at your history that you're only interested in helping trump.

Also this "I'm allowed to post here" apologia does not make your sudden account creation and posting tons of anti-democrat content any less suspicious. There's nothing you can do about that one. My advice is when someone points it out, just ignore it. It's obvious and true either way.

You mean my history of posting socialist causes, green party, education, and pro-trans issues?

How is that helping Trump? Does Trump seem to be a big supporter of those issues?!

I post more stuff to the socialist community than to the politics community: https://lemmy.world/c/socialist

If I wanted to vote for Trump, then I'd vote for Trump.

Just because I'm not voting for your candidate doesn't mean I am helping Trump. And it's very shortsighted for you to assume otherwise.

So is there a time limit on when I can start posting stuff I am interested in, after starting a Lemmy account? Because I didn't see a disclaimer about that.

Yes, your very short history of posting content you hope will help divert votes away from Harris. Pretty simple actually

If I wanted to vote for Trump, then I’d vote for Trump.

You probably aren't a US citizen.

Just because I’m not voting for your candidate doesn’t mean I am helping Trump

Actually it does mean that, even if by accident. But I don't believe anything is accidental about it.

And yes you are legally allowed to post on Lemmy so there couldn't possibly be anything unethical about how you're doing so. No one looking at your activities believes your timing and through the roof number of posts are a coincidence. You should give up pretending it is.

Yes, your very short history of posting content you hope will help divert votes away from Harris. Pretty simple actually

Then I'd just vote for Trump. And is there a time limit of when I can start posting stuff that interested me after signing up for Lemmy? How long did YOU wait before you started posting?

You probably aren’t a US citizen.

Well, considering that I am part of a teacher's union, and the vast of majority of my posts are to socialist communities, and education communities where I am going to school, and that I have talked about my local elections, that seems like a strange take. All because I am not voting for your candidate?! lmao

Please, tell us all, where do you think I live?!

No one looking at your activities believes your timing and through the roof number of posts are a coincidence. You should give up pretending it is.

Actually plenty of people agree with me and talk with me, without thinking that I am some strange foreign agent.

You're paranoid delusions about this actually worry me. I seriously wonder if you are ok.

Also, this post is about a libertarian candidate. You do realize that libertarian candidates actually help Harris by taking AWAY VOTES FROM TRUMP, right?!

If I were pro-Trump, then why on earth would I be posting libertarian articles?!

You are not fooling anyone

You are not fooling anyone

Well, since I'm not trying to fool anyone, that would make perfect sense.

But hey, you're being a little vague lately. Maybe you could just flat out say what you think it is I am trying to do.

Who is it that you think I am trying to "fool"? And why would I be trying to "fool" anyone?

You know, just go ahead and say it. Just so no one is confused.

Come on, say it. Ya know you want to.

I don't have to say something that everyone already sees.

And yet you just have said something. And I'm still not voting for your candidate. So feel free stay mad. :)

Yeah I want you to know that your downvotes are from everyone knowing what a liar we're dealing with. No one believes you.

If everyone’s so sure I’m a liar, why the need to downvote instead of engaging with facts? Seems like I’m striking a nerve. Honestly, your quick accusations make me even more sure that you're working as a Republican agent, trying to protect the duopoly by sowing discord.

Lol yeah man you're the rational one here. I should totally waste hours arguing with a bad-faith brick wall. Have you ever considered you're actually getting universally hated because you're not a good guy?
