Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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
You probably aren't a US citizen.
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.
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?
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?!
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
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?
It’s clear your goal is to sow mistrust and fear, just to keep the status quo alive and well. You’re not fooling anyone who’s paying attention.
He also posts to the conservative community. So, very wide-ranging interests indeed.
