    To cut through the nonsense and save everyone time, especially since many in this community have a habit of resorting to personal attacks when responding to my posts recently: I support and respect everyone’s right to vote for who they want to.

    I’m just posting this article that’s already available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy—I didn’t write it, just sharing it for discussion.

    I’m clarifying all of this due to past posters refusing to refrain from insults, as well as repeated baseless accusations that I’m a Republican, Russian, and/or that I’m not even an American citizen (sorry guys, I’m all American)

    So I’d prefer we stick to discussing the article’s politics rather than focusing on me personally, if you’d like to engage with me. Now if you wanna just talk crap about me but not talk to me, then feel free. But I don’t really think that fits in with the spirit of this awesome community.

    I’m not here to prove anything to you. I’ll keep posting content that fits the community’s guidelines, and if you feel otherwise, the mods are available. Thank you!

      I’m not here to prove anything to you.

      Yet you post essay long comments like this to totally prove you’re not weird. Ironic.

        I don’t owe you any explanations, and my replies can be as detailed as I choose. Your attitude, and those who think like you, are exactly why I wrote the disclaimer in the first place. You’ve proven my point within seconds of me posting.

        Please feel free to block me if my comments annoy you that much. Thank you! :)

              Continues to try to prove that he/she is not weird.

              I don’t owe you any explanations

              Continues to explain why they are not weird.

              I don’t have to ask your permission to explain anything

              You just contradicted yourself.

                What are you talking about? I don’t have to prove anything to you. I put a disclaimer so people would think before they attacked. (Which obviously hasn’t worked by the way.)

                If you don’t like it, move on, friend.

      My previous comment asking who OP was was removed. I’ll try again without the F word.

      Who are you?

          You’re making a very big deal about who you are. Why go out of your way to excuse your actions on top of simply posting an article?

            Well refresh the comments in this thread. 28 comments, and the majority are attacking me and telling me I have an agenda. Which is what I get every time I post here.

            Which is why I posted the disclaimer.

            This isn’t my first post and I was hoping by posting a disclaimer people wouldn’t jump into attack. Um, that didn’t work. lol So go ahead and refresh the thread and read all the comments. :)

            I especially like this one, even tho all I’ve done to make him this mad is posted a news article:

            Just to save everyone time, OP is here to spread propaganda that benefits the GOP and their electoral chances because they (wrongly and incredibly moronically) feel it will help their own political goals.

            Regardless of their supposed political views they claim to have, this has been pointed out ad infinitum and they only respond with bad faith arguments and deflection. Everything they have posted here should be disregarded in its entirety until they want to stop playing games.

              They’re rightfully attacking you because you started the thread by making yourself the story.

              To cut through the nonsense and save everyone time, especially since many in this community have a habit of resorting to personal attacks when responding to my posts recently

              I don’t know who you are. I clicked on this post to read about the context of the story. Instead, the first thing I read is some annoying cry baby monologue about you, as if you matter.

              You are doing exactly the opposite of cutting through nonsense and saving me time.

              So what if you have an agenda? Everyone posting something has a perspective or reason why they’re posting it. If you continue to get downvoted or your posts are removed, perhaps this isn’t the sub for you to post this content. Otherwise, just let people read the story without adding your own commentary about yourself. If you want to add context to the story, do it about the story, not you or your post history.

              Anyway, I’m going to go ahead and block you being that you seem more concerned with your own ego than the news you’re pretending to care about. It’s not beneficial to me.

                Friend they attacked me in my other posts LONG before I started posting a disclaimer. That’s the reason why I posted the disclaimer! lol

                You are doing exactly the opposite of cutting through nonsense and saving me time.

                Obviously.

                If you continue to get downvoted or your posts are removed, perhaps this isn’t the sub for you to post this content.

                My posts aren’t getting removed though. Because I am not breaking any rules with what I post. So I’ll keep posting.

                I’m going to go ahead and block you

                Ok, bye! :)
