Agreed. But I didn’t write the headline, nor did I write the article.

For someone who “isn’t voting for Jill Stein” you certainly post a lot of articles about her.

I don’t have to explain anything to you.

The only problem with blocking people like this is that they get to say their unmitigated bloviating BS without being countered. I considered blocking all these ‘concerned third party voters’, but decided against when someone pointed out to me that all that does is let them spew their nonsense unchecked.

Ah, I made the mistake of reporting with an alt what is clearly a deluge of either bad faith bullshit or straight propaganda, and got these posts hidden from me for me. Powers that be seem to want this type of content unchallenged.

So does that mean you think these third party news articles posted to Lemmy are actually swaying Lemmy voters?! Come on, now… lol

Do you honestly think that by people posting a third party article, that lots of Lemmy voters are gonna suddenly drop their Harris support and go pro-third party?!

Is that the big mission you are on? To put a stop to that? Seriously?

So if you DO believe that, then are you saying that people should NOT vote third party news? That people SHOULDN’T have access to other news or other opinions?

So articles that you don’t like shouldn’t be posted then? Is that what you are saying?

Maybe this community should ONLY have news articles that you personally agree with, right? Like an echo-chamber?

It’s not about agreeing or not agreeing with them, it’s the fact that it’s a misleading fluff piece and you full well know it.
