And yet when piecemealed liberals and Republicans will completely embrace the aspects of project 2025. The same way they're doing KOSA which originated with the HF
Yeah, this guy's ramping up his activity like he's being paid for it.
(Note to moderators: I am not accusing anyone of being a Russian troll, I'm simply describing someone's rather prodigious and homogeneous recent activity.)
If you continue your average of 79.2 submissions to Lemmy a day your submissions will surpass the 6,791 votes that Alyson Kennedy got for running as presidential candidate for the Socialist Workers Party (United States) on November 2, 2024!
Good on ya for respecting mods, but bruh, not everyone here who is not voting for harris, is paid to post by someone. Actually about half of the country isn't voting for Harris. And they're not getting paid to dislike her.
We know there is an extensive campaign by the Russian government to divide the left and attempt to get Trump re-elected. And given the nature of our current electoral system, there are only a few reasons why someone would try to get people not to vote for Harris:
They are an honest Trump supporter. Fine. I disagree vehemently, of course, but such is life.
They are a true-believing third-party supporter. Very rare, given the low numbers for fringe candidates from third parties. Of course, these people are incredibly naive, because they don't understand how third parties in a FPTP election system empower their own ideological opposition, but at least they're honest, too.
They are a Trump supporter, but not honest, and for whatever reason, they consider it morally and ethically acceptable to misrepresent themselves and try to get folks on the left playing a game of "let's you and him fight."
They are a paid actor. I think this is the majority of the supposed leftists posting vehemently and continuously against Harris, while ignoring the grotesque abomination and clear threat to the country that is Trump.
I mean that. I think the majority of people playing that particular game are paid to. Doesn't mean they all are, of course, but it's impossible to ignore the massive uptick in content from them right now, especially from shiny new accounts and from accounts that have been mostly inactive until now. There just aren't that many third-party true believers or Republicans who want to spend all day, every day, pretending to be abrasive leftists.
Given the much greater size of the population that plans to vote Democrat, not likely.
Let's take this out of the realm of politics for a sec, and bring up a topic nearly everyone can agree on: Chocolate. A full 90% of Americans like chocolate and prefer it to other candy categories. (Seriously, look it up. Americans fucking love chocolate.) Now imagine if you went to a candy discussion forum, and found that there was a flood of similarly-phrased and comments from a bunch of new accounts, all extolling the virtues of gummy bears and denigrating chocolate as a candy choice.
Would you find that believable? Or would you suspect some gummy bear aficionado had set up bots to spam the forum?
But is everything a fucking conspiracy?! I mean, a full HALF of the country is not voting for Harris. Half.
Are there some people paid to promote? Yeah, I'm sure there are. For EVERY party. I just don't think it's nearly as much as you do.
Also, it would be a total fucking waste of money to pay someone to shill on Lemmy. Lemmy hates third-parties with a passion anyway.
People hate me so much, that when I have posted non-political posts to say a science community, within 30 seconds there will be 10 downvotes. And not from the science community, because even they get confused why so many downvotes so fast.
Why? My name. And why? Because I posted third-party articles.
I'm very proud to vote third-party, but the amount of bullying and false accusations I get from Democrats are much more hateful than what I get from Republicans. I mean, Republicans hate me too, but nothing like the Democrats on Lemmy. lmao
And I promise you, any slight motivation I had for even considering switching to Democrat, was obliterated by the comments and hate I get here. I'll never vote for Harris now. I don't care what happens. lol
I don't hate you. I think you're incredibly naive, and I think you've likely inadvertently consumed Russian propaganda specifically designed to split the left in the United States, but that doesn't make me hate you.
It just makes me sad.
I have a couple kids, as I mentioned, both LGBTQ+. People like you, I don't think you intend my kids harm. But your vote will potentially boost Donald Trump. And your rhetoric online, if successful, would further boost Donald Trump. And Trump is a direct threat to my kids.
So no, I don't hate you. But I'm scared of what you and people like you could do to my kids in the name of ideological purity.
There just aren’t that many third-party true believers
Me and most of the people in my social circle. Look at the campaigns of socialist Claudia De la Cruz and the crowds of people showing up at her demonstrations. You think most of those people are getting paid?
And how do you think people just magically get paid to start posting articles? The reason I am asking is because I get accused of this DAILY. lol
That's a statistically insignificant blip unless your social circle is, for example, Delaware.
Look at the campaigns of socialist Claudia De la Cruz and the crowds of people showing up at her demonstrations. You think all those people are getting paid?
No, of course not. I was referring specifically to online, where a single person can operate thousands of bots spamming nonsense. You can't do something like that at a physical event.
That said, her rallies attract hundreds of people at best. Harris' rallies attract tens of thousands of people, with thousands more standing outside. And De la Cruz is polling in the low single digits. She's barely a statistical blip. Yet online forums are absolutely flooded with support for her and for Jill Stein.
And I know people like myself get accused of getting paid daily. And why? Because we post news articles about third parties. Not everything is a conspiracy.
And also, to your point, if these third parties are such a statistical blip, then you have nothing to be worried or angry about. So why even get mad at posts that aren't pro-harris?! Such small statistical blips shouldn't affect the outcome of the election at all, right?
I'm not mad at posts from actual people, which I do think you are. You've engaged in ways that thoroughly convince me you're not a bot or troll. I happen to disagree with you, but that's okay.
Glad to see you're finally coming around and realizing how paranoid it was starting to sound, accusing so many people of being Russian agents or being paid by them. Whew! Thanks, friend.
Liberals are so desperate to smear anything that's a threat to their privilege in society and a perceived threat to the breadcrumbs that get tossed to them.
Clearly, you hate the USA, going by your posts/comment.
Why should anyone think what you have to say is anything other than anti-American propaganda generated by a foreign power? Can you provide a believable explanation?
Yes, project 2025, loaded with unpopular ideas, opposed primarily by democrats, is actually a democrat wetdream. Because democrats have proven repeatedly their agenda is always rolling back human rights /s
It's moronic. You discredit yourself so hard, it's actually hard to top your own words.
The militant communist is getting their catchphrase from the Brady Bunch. Which btw wasn't a cool reference 15 years ago either. lol
Not to mention that you want to imply that democrats long for the dissolution of human rights but you know saying it outright is laughably indefensible even by your standards, so you keep quiet on that and toss out your little snarky deflection.
Your party voted in favor of anti-trans legislation which was bipartisan in sponsors and cosponsors. Written by a Democrat and a Republican. But instead of calling it an anti trans bill it was presented as saving kids, KOSA
Notice how you hide behind the fact that it likely was bad legislation just by the name of it and refuse to explain what you are talking about in any way. How is this "anti-trans"? You might be right (doubt it outside of some particular edge cases, but prove me wrong). But you're begging me to dismiss you by just being condescending about it.
Go familiarize yourself with the total aims of Project 2025 and then maybe you'll see why you look like a complete shill trying to equate these 2 things.
I suppose you don't understand what the term piecemealed is. When liberals get on board with it, they won't advertise it as eliminating the department of education like they did not label kosa an anti-trans legislation.
