    I don’t see any reason to think it isn’t genuine. I’ve met plenty of people who feel this way.

    But either way they must have incredible patience to deal with all the abuse they receive!

      You can tell when you engage and ask questions that require actual thought. Bring up the fact that many third party candidates have been shown to literally be in the race to confuse voters or pull votes away from other candidates, and they no longer want to engage, attempting to steer the conversation away from that topic.

      The fact that they won’t even acknowledge it happens, which is an objective fact, is proof enough for me to believe that’s what they are attempting.

        So if that’s true, then Libertarian Party (which is the party in the article I posted for this thread) would draw voters AWAY from Trump. Which would actually help Harris.

        So are you upset that I posted an article about a party that would actually help Harris and work against Trump?

        I’ve also posted about other parties that, according to your logic, would take votes away from Trump.

        I’m confused about why you would be mad that I posted an article that is anti-Trump.

        So are you pro-Trump then?

          I’m sorry, are you trying to suggest that shady situations in support of the candidate I prefer would be a good thing, while the same actions by a candidate I dislike would be bad?

          Are your morals that flexible? Does hypocrisy run wild through your standards? Because that’s the only way your reply could make sense to me.

            Well many many Lemmy people think that. As I have found out firsthand. Let me know if you would like links to the conversations where people are saying exactly that!

            If you are not one of those people, then yay!

            Does hypocrisy run wild through your standards? Because that’s the only way your reply could make sense to me.

            No, in fact, when I brought up the hypocrisy to the people who think it’s ok when it happens to the other party, just not theirs, I called out their hypocrisy. Good to know you are not one of them. But many exist. I know because I argued with them.

      You should see my DM’s! These public ones are bad enough, but oy! The private ones are borderline creepy. Tho the guy who keeps insisting every day that I am getting paid in “russian bitcoins” and that I live in a mansion with Putin is funny. Crazy, but funny.

      So it’s not so much patience, its that I just don’t take any of it personal.

      What’s even more fascinating to me tho, is the amount of anger I get for posting a news article about a third party. It’s not like I write the articles. And it’s not like this sub is ONLY for pro democrat articles.

      I post about libertarian stuff and the trump gang gets mad at me and calls me names. I post green party stuff, and the Harris gang gets mad at me, and calls me names.

      I will have to say the Democrat people actually get more mad at me than the republicans, tho. Which I was def not counting on.
