    Dear reader, when you read OP’s posts, take the time to look at the upvote to downvote percentage. This poster is going out of its way to bash Democrats, and while we can’t say why that is (thanks mods!!!), we CAN say that there is a concerted effort by Republicans, Russians, right-wing trolls, and other authoritarians to throw this election to Trump to establish authoritarianism here. Keep that in mind as you read these articles from this poster.

      All that and you didn’t even make it easy for people to check my posts! Here’s my post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

      How can you say I bash Democrats when I post Pro-democrat articles though? And I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.

      So, if you’re assuming I agree with every viewpoint in the articles I post, how does that even work when I share so many conflicting perspectives?!

      I also created and mod a political news community where people have posted articles praising Harris, criticizing Stein and Trump, and trashing me—yet I still leave those up.

      https://lemmy.world/c/politicsunfiltered

      Why did you forget to mention the pro-democrat articles and the anti-Trump articles that I post, in your little rant?

      Do you have an agenda? Hlmmmm… because we CAN say that there is a concerted effort by Republicans, Russians, right-wing trolls, and other authoritarians to try to paint everyone as some russian agent in order to cause chaos and confusion. So readers, please keep that in mind as you read these posts attempting to falsely paint me as pro-Trump. :)

      Some instances don’t show downvotes (like blahaj.zone). Also, maybe they’re bashing Democrats bc Dems are fucking awful? Not as bad as republicans obviously, but that should go without saying around here. Leftists shitting on Biden and refusing to vote for him seems to have played an important role in him stepping down and, until he did, we were constantly shat on by liberals over it and accused of being Russian/trolls/etc. This is the same. Harris needs to adopt leftist positions if she wants leftist support

      Edit: I am aware, however, that OP likes to troll. Their style is classic (i.e., obvious yet still reels people in) and it’s hilarious

        What’s even better is that the poster, who tries to make this personal everytime I post something, never mentions that I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.

        So, if he’s assuming I agree with every viewpoint in the articles I post, how does that even work when I share so many conflicting perspectives?!

        But he’s really really mad that I’m not voting for Harris, so he decides to warn readers of my deep dark evil powers.

      Isn’t it that we just are not allowed to say they are bots or paid provocateurs? I thought we still were allowed to say they are dishonest, acting in bad faith, and MAGAs cosplaying as leftists.

        Give it a try and see if the mods let it stand. That’s the only way to be sure. And don’t expect consistency. After all, this is a part of the rules:

        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.

      Actually I’m helping the Democrats: https://lemmy.world/comment/12698046

      @SatansMaggotyCumFart says “I’ve been a stanch socialist for years, always voting for the SWPUSA but I can’t wait to vote for Harris this year.”

      “I’m a proud democrat now due to your conduct in these comments.”

      and

      “You’re definitely doing a great job drumming up support for Harris!”

      How am I a bot, if I respond to people’s comments and get accused of having “main character syndrome” getting paid in Russian currency, and called a troll because of my behavior?!

      So…

          But what would be the point of having a bot, if I am the one responding to the articles?

          And I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them. And most of my articles are socialist articles posted to socialist communities.

          So, if you’re assuming I’m a bot because of viewpoints in the articles I post, how does that even work when I share so many conflicting perspectives?!

          I also created and mod a political news community where people have posted articles praising Harris, criticizing Stein, and trashing me—yet I still leave those up.

          Sure seems like a lot of conflicting viewpoints for ya to imply I’m a bot. Maybe you could clarify?

      They make a significant number of voters in critical swing states like Michigan. Biden won certain counties in the 2020 election by a handful of votes. This can make a significant amount of difference in the coming election.

        I’m aware, but this particular poster constantly posts these articles with that specific title format to push a very specific reaction.

          For the record, I’m actually helping Harris and the Democrats win. I’ve turned people to the Democratic party just by my comments and attitude: https://lemmy.world/comment/12698046

          I didn’t write the article, nor did I write the title. If you think the news org is being dishonest, please contact them directly.

          And why did you neglect to mention that I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them?

          So, if you’re assuming I agree with every viewpoint in the articles I post, how does that even work when I share so many conflicting perspectives?!

          I’m curious why you left that part out. Can you clarify why you would imply that I only post one type of article, when my post history clearly shows that’s not true? https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

              Well you cared enough to mention “this particular poster constantly posts these articles with that specific title format to push a very specific reaction.”

              But when I point out to you that I post all types of articles with all types of titles, you suddenly don’t spend your time thinking about me?!

              So you spend enough time to give out inaccurate implications about me, but not enough to time to be correct. Ok…

              Also, I’m still now sure what you mean by “specific title format” since I don’t create the titles.

                Of course you do. Lying and acting confused really wears thin. If you have the capacity to read and understand the articles you share, you have the capacity to read and understand the comic and the linked web page.

                If you continue to profess that you don’t understand, I can only conclude that you can’t even read and understand the articles you’re sharing, and that you are somehow functionally illiterate. If that is the case, please let me know as I can send you some resources that can help.

                  But I don’t understand what the comic has anything to do with this article or the conversations in the thread.

                  And if you conclude that I “can’t even read and understand the articles,” then I guess you were wrong implying that I have some agenda. I mean, if I can’t even read and understand what I’m doing.

                  So please send those resources that can help. I KNEW we would end up being friends. Also, I have actually converted some people to the Democratic Party–so I’m actually helping your cause: https://lemmy.world/comment/12698046

    Stein leading Harris among this group, even if very unfortunate, makes sense.

    But this … this does not.

    And sure enough, the article explains it,

    Trump’s lead over Harris, however, are within the margin of error of the poll

    So basically it’s all just error and he’s likely not really leading.
