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.

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.

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.

Among some.
Harris leads among some.
Trump leads among some.
I lead among some.
Your momma leads among some.
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.
I didn’t ask you to.
Good. Because I don't have to.
Glad that you’re finally learning.
Thanks. And thank you for learning that I am under no obligation to explain anything to you. So we're friends now!
Apology accepted. But we’re not friends.
You misunderstood somehow. I didn't apologize, as I have nothing to apologize for.
Can we be friends now?
You’re forgiven.
Good, since I didn't do anything wrong in the first place. :)
Some people feel you are pushing an article that is clearly designed to manipulate.
So by posting an article, that I didn't write, from a news org I have no association with, I'm "pushing" the article?
Are all the pro-Democrat or pro-Harris articles here also being posted by people who are "pushing" an agenda?
Are you suggesting that news articles that don't represent the majority opinion in this community shouldn't be shared or viewed at all? Do you think certain news should be hidden from the public?
It sounds like you're advocating for limiting choices and restricting access to information. I’d really appreciate some clarification because, to me, it sounds like you're endorsing censorship and would rather this space be an echo chamber.
Yes sharing an article in a public place that is a blatant attempt to manipulate voters does indeed look bad.
Wow, so you really are advocating for limiting choices and restricting access to information. You’re endorsing censorship and would rather this space be an echo chamber.
Glad the mods here don't agree with you!
Do you think that information that is a lie and designed to manipulate voters should be allowed?
Do you think that the Indy Star news org wore information that is a lie and was designed to manipulate voters? Are you accusing them of that?
Because I didn't write the article friend, I posted it. You are the one calling for censorship and not me.
So what part of this news article contained lies? What were the lies?
Do you believe the content of the article to be true?
Yep. Do you have stats to show that it's not? Have you contacted the news org that wrote the article. They would be happy to update it if you have different facts and figures that show their information to be false.
I doubt they would change an article for any reason.
But good luck with your cherries. And good luck getting anything out of Jill. She’s no better than the other parties.
You still haven't shared the facts that you have which shows that the news org is lying. What happened?
Also, I don't have to worry about "getting anything out of Jill" because I'm not voting for her.
I just posted the article friend, I didn't write it. I'm not voting for her. I am not saying people should. I didn't make the news.
But you did post the dumb article. Enjoy the downcotes and a block from me
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?
Dear reader, we got the Shitgibbon in 2017 because a very small fraction of our voters in each of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania (1.07% in MI, 0.81% in PA, 1.04% in WI) defected to the Green candidate. These states were lost by a narrower margin than the number of voters who voted Stein, allowing Trump to run roughshod over the country for 4 years, being a Russian Asset and damaging the fabric of our nation's norms, making the place a worse place. It doesn't take a lot of voters, and yes, I am worried that some Lemmy voters will read the trip this poster is posting and decide to give Stein a chance, like those voters did in 2016.
I can't call this guy a moron because Rule 3, but I can say 'if you vote third party in this election with what's at stake, you're a fucking moron' as a general statement. Please make the smart choice. Don't listen to this ... poster.
I support your right to your opinion, even tho I disagree with it.
I'll keep posting, and I'll keep voting third party! Thank you!
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.
But I didn't write it. And if it's so obvious that it's a "misleading fluff piece" then it wouldn't sway anyone.
And actually since the news org wrote it, are you saying that the news org is writing fluff pieces for a third party? Are you going to contact the reporters and the editorial team to let your thoughts be known?
I just post the news, I don't write it, friend.
Wasn’t really talking to you directly. You just posted it. 🤷♂️
Fair point!
