Nah, I’m just voting for the person I like best and who best matches my values. As I would recommend you do. Thank you!

Thank you. It’s a fun little side project. People seem to think I spend way too long on here, but I actually don’t (one guy seems to think I spend 8 hours a day on here!) I work full time and I am finishing my degree. So I just do this on breaks between my other stuff. I don’t take any of it too seriously. All good fun!

So you don’t think people are nice to me, then?

That doesn’t seem like I only post about Jill Stein. And since you refuse to look at my posting history for global posting, doesn’t really seem to prove the argument that I only post about Jill Stein.

Seems like you have proven that I actually post about third parties. Not just Jill Stein. Which is what I have always maintained. :)

I don’t write the articles, I just post them. There are a LOT of Jill Stein articles written every day by news orgs–far more than are written about other candidates. So that’s on the news, not me, friend. :)

Come on, friend. You know me better than that. I’m not sophisticated enough to use that ploy.

I’m not sure what you mean.

Oh, I stand by all those! The guy was stalking me and sending me DM’s that he was gonna follow me and keep and eye on me.

BUT, they are not from this sub, so doesn’t work for this conversation!

I know you’re just trying to frustrate me into insulting you. I obviously was talking about this incoherent babble

What do you mean?! I’m not sophisticated enough to trick you. Come on man, you know that. Besides, I like you!

And for the record, I totally support and respect your right to vote for you who you want. Just like I’ll be voting for who I want. As long as we vote, it’s all good, brother.

I do think you’ll disappear after election day

So now you’re back to saying I’ll disappear after election day. Man, you are changing your mind a lot!

You see, Mr. IMMA VOTE THIRD PARTY HUR!, my job is to only counter your bull until the election.

Riiiggghht…Ok…Yeah. I really believe that’s your goal. Ok.

The only reason I entertain you now is I don’t want anyone buying your bullcrap here.

So you think I have sway over Lemmy voters? Hmmm…

You flack for Jill Stein- I know you say you don’t, but the majority of the articles you post

Nope. My post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

:)

Oh ok. So give me a sample of my behavior that calls for that. But be sure to note the comment I was replying to as well. Let’s take a look!

Because the Teamsters refuse to endorse Harris. And I refuse to vote for Harris. And a LOT of people think that a vote or endorsement that’s not for Harris is one for Trump.

I post a third party news org article and people attack me for secretly being a trump operative. That’s what I mean and what it has to do with the article. Cool?

But wait, you said said you think I will disappear after election day. What did you mean by that?

And now you’re saying I won’t. Hmmm, what did you originally mean?

And my single vote is why Trump would win? Really?! If I really wanted him to win, wouldn’t I just vote for him directly rather than vote for a third party?!

You literally said: “I meant the truth. Not just a deflection. Why in the name of fuck would you endure near universal hate all the time? What could you possibly get out of it?” https://lemmy.world/comment/12438004

Did you forget our conversation already?

Have you seen the comments I get for posting a news article about third parties?! lmao

I appreciate your well-written post. And you bring up some good points. But I disagree with some as well.

It may seem like I post only about Jill Stein, but the truth is, I just share third-party news in general. If you check my posts, you’ll notice I share articles on multiple third parties, not just Stein.

The reason you see more Stein-related content lately is that the media has ramped up coverage on her. Think about it: news orgs live off of clicks. And what has made LOTS of hate-clicks lately? Jill Stein.

Whenever I find a relevant third-party article, I post it. Feel free to look for yourself. Go to google. Type in third party. You’ll see far far more Jill Stein articles than libertarian articles or socialist party articles.

My news feed is favored to third party news. So I see a new Jill Stein one almost every single day. Feel free to look at my post history and see how many more non-jill stein articles I post than jill stein.

People here often jump to conclusions, assuming I’m a Russian operative, a Stein fanatic, or even a Trump voter. They conveniently overlook the fact that I’ve shared far more socialist third party content than anything related to Stein.

And just to clarify, it’s not like I’m picking favorites—if there were more libertarian articles out there, I’d be posting those too.

What’s interesting is that libertarian posts don’t seem to get the same level of hate, probably because they’re perceived as spoilers for Republicans, while anything anti-Democrat, like a Stein article, gets slammed. There’s a clear bias.

You could even test it yourself: pick a different username you have, post a libertarian article, then follow it up with a Jill Stein article, and watch the difference in reaction. It’s pretty telling.

I’ve actually started a new community on Lemmy where we share news from all political perspectives—Democrat, Republican, third parties—you name it. The goal is to foster an environment where people can access diverse opinions and make informed choices.

Funny enough, some of my harshest critics from here have posted pro-Democrat content there, and it’s still up. That’s the point—everyone should have the chance to see all sides.

Yes, practically every interaction you have is someone telling you what you’re doing is awful

Ok, so we are going with the whole universal hate for me thing, and not me just making it up and being a victim cuz everyone is really nice to me. Right? I just wanna get some clarity where we are today.

Do I really get universal hate? Because every time I bring that up, people tell me I’m just playing the victim and it’s not true at all. So now I’m just confused.

Do random anonymous comments online actually matter to you so much that you can’t understand how someone else might not care about that kind of nonsense? Wow.

Well, you do you. But me? I’m not bothered by the haters—if there are any, that is. Some people here say I’m just imagining it and playing the victim, while you’re saying I get “universal hate.” Whew! Things shift pretty fast around here!

I have. What do you think the truth is if you don’t believe mine?
