1: You are “poking the bear” because everything you post to this community is pursuant to getting Harris to lose the election, either through pro-PSL or Green articles (via the Spoiler Effect), or through explicitly anti-Harris articles. That’s the pattern behind your posts, it obviously doesn’t matter how reputable a source is to you so long as you can flood Lemmy with this content. “Take it up with them” is a copout for your behavior because you choose to post their articles here.

2: You clearly don’t know what astroturfing even means. What could pro-Harris posts even astroturf for?

3: Repeatedly posting articles about getting Harris to lose the election and arguing in bad faith in defense of why that’s actually good for advancing socialism in the US is toxic because it’s literally incorrect. And when pointed out, you say you don’t actually think a second Trump term would be all that bad for you. It’s patently obvious what you’re trying to do on here, you’re trying to get leftists on board with neo-fascism and accelerationism to enrich yourself.

I think actively trolling people by arguing in bad faith or through astroturfing like this is definitely poisoning the community. It shouldn’t be tolerated for tolerances’ sake. And I’m not saying to just ban people you don’t agree with. I’m saying people who obviously just post to poke the bear, so to speak, should face discipline for trying to turn Lemmy toxic.

For everyone else reading, this is the mask off moment of this poster’s true intentions with the incessant propaganda.

Posting to Lemmy is always optional, if you find an article you’re apathetic about you don’t actually have to post or crosspost it. Try again.

If you care so little about the performance of the 2 major parties of the US electoral system, why did you even bother to post the original article?

You know all of Lemmy can see right through you, right? Just say you want Trump to win and we can all move on.

Translation: “I’m too privileged to care about who wins this election.”

“Today we commemorate a year since the beginning of a genocide, so sad. Vote for me so the person who’s been illegally trying to sabotage peace deals can indirectly get elected and just glass Gaza already! Heard there’s great real estate opportunities coming up!”

They are absolutely not. I’m voting Democratic all the way down the ticket this year and I will say all day that Biden needs to cut the crap with his support for Israel (while also mentioning Trump has been accused of illegally contacting Israel to sabotage the ceasefire deals). Lots of people I know share this exact opinion. Your argument is a strawman.

It’s not, and thinking that way does not make you enlightened, it makes you completely unable to comprehend the facts
