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!

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....
I easily got to 500 Lemmy posts in a month before and I was just chatting and sharing what I like. The reality is some people disagree with you. Such as Arab American voters. Calling them bots won't bring them back.
Hey, I just noticed this post. Thank you!
If I don't reply to people, I'm a bot. If I do reply to people, I get called a bot AND a troll. So seems people here are pretty testy.
Thanks for bringing logic into the fray!
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?
What a fraud
Alright man. Stay well.
You too, friend.
Elsewhere, he said he's socialist and told the story of being terrified and losing his job led to him paying off his debt, which is what made him so. It appears he's a politics junkie and just posts a wide variety of political news stories, imo but I actually never asked. Maybe he'll see this and reply.
Everything you said is accurate. Thank you!
You're welcome, friend and thanks for your reply. I hope you have an amazingly great day!
You know what? I'll accept that. I think that me and your dad would definitely have been on the same wavelength.
Sorry for your loss, he sound like a fun guy. Have a great rest of your day and thanks for your post.
