This is legit the most fun I have ever had on an election night! And I didn't even for him. But I didn't vote for Harris either. :)

I got so many bans for not bowing down to the Harris-worship, and then there were all the people saying I was interfering with the election, that I was a bot, that I was russian, blah blah blah.

But it sure looks like a LOT more people are voting for Trump than anyone thought. And it had nothing to do with me!

As of now, it could still swing her way, but it's not the landslide that some people thought (including me!) lmao

Looks like the Democrats (and Lemmy users) didn’t have much luck with the tactic of labeling anyone who didn’t openly support Harris as Nazis, racists, or privileged. Oops.

Turns out dehumanizing people is not a persuasive way to bring people to your viewpoint, who knew?

Lemmy is a very small echo chamber with a strong bias, but that's ok, I love it anyway

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, I was suprised that Lemmy, which touted itself as such a great alternative to Reddit, was so hateful in its bias.

Sure, some bias is exptected, but the hate and vitriol I received here just because I didn't vote for Harris was crazy. Banned from instances, lied about, followed around by a downvote brigade, people posting stats about me. Like full-on batshit crazy people here.

But I like Lemmy and love the idea of the fediverse. And I hope the hateful bullies here do some soul-searching after tonight's election. Because their hate made me more anti-democrat than I ever was before!

And their bullying didn't make me leave Lemmy. I'm here to stay. :)

The real villain is the first past the post voting system that degenerates into a duopoly

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Lemmy is irrelevent and has zero influence. Both Lemmy and Mastodon is run by cult leaders. If the platforms actually want any influence, or to at least be something more than a dumping grouping or a platform to mock, they must protecting offensive words.

It's clear that the LemmyMastodon admins cannot live in the real world and have no functioning social skills when they are out in public, so they depend on nonexistant cyberspace to save them from mean words and save them from people who disagree with what they believe.

Dude, it's crazy. I legit got banned from .midwest instance and the reason listed was "conservative." And what's hilarious about that is that I'm a socialist!

But because I didn't worship Harris, I was banned from that and other instances. Fucking hilarious that this is happening right now! lol

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com -3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You are evil. Every socialism has gone resulted in mass starvation, genocide, and national destruction. There is solid reasoning for socialists and communists must be cleansed and exterminated from society in every country.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Meh, the person I voted for didn't win either, so...

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com -3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

So what? Socialists and communists should be collected and rounded up, each individual person in society that supports it, and make them disappear so there are no socialists alive anywhere on the planet.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Well, I guess you don't have to worry about that here in the US, because the socialist didn't win. So see? Problem solved. Thanks, comrade!

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com -2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Since you are a socialist, explain why you should not be beheaded and for people to celebrate your death?

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Um, seems like you took things a little too far there, comrade. Be well!

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You want the population forever in poverty so you made it a fight to the death to kill you first.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I think you are taking things little too far, friend. Thanks!

[–] Mettled@reddthat.com 0 points 4 hours ago

Ending one person's life to protect millions of other lives is all in good fun!

[–] gregs_gumption@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

Looks like your aggressive support Trump worked out very well.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 4 points 5 hours ago

Looks like your aggressive support for Harris didn't work out very well.

Maybe don't be a jerk to people just because they don't agree with you--see if that will work better next time, friend!

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee -1 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Oh I didn't vote for him. But it looks like that didn't really matter anyway, huh?

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Every vote matters !

I don't care who you vote for, but I do care that you vote. Get out and vote. Well, technically, it's too late now, but for future elections, get out and vote. Everyone that is eligible to vote, should vote.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee -4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Oh, I did vote. Early even.

[–] gregs_gumption@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know if you voted for him or not, I do know you have aggressively and prolifically campaigned for him on Lemmy.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee -3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Give me one example where I have "campaigned" for him. Seriously. One link. Feel free to look under my banned name Universal Monk over on lemmy.world too. You won't find anything, because I never campaigned for him.

I voted socialist party, have created and modded socialist party communities under all of my usernames and on every instance I am on.

Posting a news articles on Jill Stein or Donald Trump is NOT campaigning for him. I didn't write them.

I happily voted socialist, but you all showed me WAY more hatred than any republican ever did. Why the fuck would anyone like me, want to jump over to your side?!

I legit got banned from .world c/politics until NOV 6TH. And the mod even put up a calendar post that showed day after election with a smiley face. And that community all celebrated. Look it up in their modlog.

And now here we fucking are! You all thought I was the fucking enemy and I didn't even vote for Trump! LMAO

Your exact attitude is why you all lost this election. You are so blind with emotion that you think everyone is against you, just because they may not agree with you.
