Hmm.. I wonder why a certain user who’s been posting non-stop about third-party candidates for the entire lifespan of their account chose to ignore this particular article. One would assume it’s important for the voting public to know about this, no?

Here, I'll channel my energy into a representative comment so you don't feel left out.

"I'm not voting for her. You're free to vote for whoever you want."

"I didn't write the article."

You forgot to call me “friend” and channel punchable face energy with one of these 🤗 but I’ll give you an A for effort.

Right?! Thanks, friend! :)

Here's your chance. Defend the article.

They're ecstatic to be on the same team as Duke, but as usual everything they say is meaningless bullshit with about the same value as a 10 second long wet fart

Dude, I didn't even post the article. Maybe you can ask the person who did? Did you even look at the name of the poster?!

And what is there to "defend"? NBC News wrote an article that David Duke endorses Stein. I didn't write it, produce it, edit it, publish it, or even post it to Lemmy. I have nothing to do with this article being on Lemmy.

Exactly what part do you want defended? That NBC news talked to someone? I'm unclear on what you're trying to ask me to do. Thanks!

Who are you referring to? I'm debating some "Harris needs to earn my vote. So it's her fault if Trump wins." idiots right now.

Unfortunately if I name this person there’s a good likelihood this discussion gets removed since the rules prohibit calling out bad faith actors, even the painstakingly obvious ones. So I’ll leave you with this: you needn’t look far to find that which you seek.

It's @UniversalMonk@lemmy.world. It's always @UniversalMonk@lemmy.world, and it's so unbearably obvious that they should've been banned long, long ago because all they do is pollute this community with Russian propaganda. I don't honestly care at this point if they are or are not literally paid (their post/comment frequency is staggering if they aren't); it's nevertheless the effect they have. This community is objectively a worse place with them here.

Edit: Again, I emphasize without engaging with them and giving them carte blanche to spam even more: every single word that comes out of their mouth is dripping with disingenuity.

You think that articles from Newsweek, AP News, CNN, The Hill, USA Today, and Reuters are "Russian propaganda"?! Really?

And why would I get paid to post news articles from news sites to Lemmy of all places?!

Absolutely no one likes you. Go away.

Well, if no one likes me, then shouldn't be a problem for me to post here. And you can always block me too. Thanks! :)

Maybe a play on "omnipresent zealot"

It's almost like people argue in bad faith on the internet. Fancy that!

Or some people just don't agree with the echo chamber. Just because the don't change their minds and vote differently than others, doesn't mean it's in bad faith. Thanks! :)

Because it's already been posted here and this community doesn't allow duplicate posts. It's also been posted in Politics Unfiltered.

I don't know what user you're referring to, but I've commented in this thread. And I posted another article referring to David Duke and Jill Stein. https://lemmy.world/post/20893592

I thought it was interesting, so I posted it. Thank you! :)

Ah so you were late to /c/politics. Well I suppose we all have busy days at work sometimes. You’ll get ‘em next time champ.

Wait, I thought Lemmy was under the impression that I post every 17 minutes, 24 hours a day?! And that I'm a team of people. Oh AND that I'm a bot.

So if all that's true, how was I having a "busy" day at work?!

Look at you deflecting.

You average a submission every seventeen minutes and thirty-eight seconds and that’s public information.

Woah hey now all I said was you probably had a busy day at work. A little weird to bring up bots and teams of bad actors dude, chill.

People have said that about me. So I'm just wondering how all of those diverse viewpoints can be correct if I am at work and having a busy day.

I don’t recall having brought any of that up? At any rate, it seems like whatever your occupation is, it’s pretty stressful. That sucks.

I didn't say that you brought it up. I mentioned that many on Lemmy say that about me.

My job isn't stressful at all. Thanks, friend! :)

No, "Lemmy" isn't under that "impression". Are you trying to say your profile page is wrong, or that math is?
