Stein's disqualification stems from a purported withdrawal letter from her running mate -- a letter Stein's campaign claims was unauthorized and had a forged signature.
Anyway, this conversation is going nowhere. And I think I’m done seeing the dubious quality posts and non-constructive comments you are spamming Lemmy with. So I’m gonna block you and move on.
But one last thing, and I say this with the best of intention…
I seriously don’t understand your rationale or your aim on this platform. Your frequency of trying to antagonize others indicates an unhealthy addiction; the quality of the content is all over the place, with no apparent discernment for legitimacy of the sources; and the need to engage with people here almost always turns negative, which isn’t helpful to you or anyone else.
I know you get defensive about people accusing you of being a Russian operative (which I don’t think you are) and of them ‘persecuting’ your opinion. You put on a proverbially happy face, but the urge for contrarianism (which is usually a sign of unhappiness) and that undertone of feeling disrespected shines through that. Surely you know by now that the reason you get so heavily down-voted by others on this platform isn’t because they disagree with your opinion. It’s because you seem to post and comment in bad faith trying to antagonize others and then proverbially run and hide behind the “hey I don’t support that opinion/candidate myself!” argument. You obviously have some sort of an agenda, but you won’t admit to what it really is. That lack of emotional and intellectual honesty is what irritates people.
You will keep doing what you want, and that’s totally your prerogative. But you’re not changing anyone’s minds. You’re only galvanizing them against your opinions and marginalizing yourself.
Maybe you need some emotional help? (Rhetorical question, I don’t want an actual answer.). If so, then I hope you get it.
What evidence do you have that I am triggered? You mean the fact that I replied to you? You are replying to me, are you triggered then?
And you are reading WAY too much into it friend. I am interested in third parties, so I post news articles about third parties. I have never hid that fact. The vast majority of my postings are socialist articles to my socialist communties. Feel free to look: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
I don’t care if people are irritated and disagree with the articles that I post. I didn’t write them. They can bring that up with the various news orgs that write the articles.
How exactly am I “trying to antagonize others” if all I’m doing is responding to comments directed at me? If someone doesn’t want to engage, they don’t have to comment on my posts, or they can just block me like you said you’re going to do. That’s their choice.
If people want me to stop responding, then they can stop commenting on my posts. I’m not going to stop sharing the articles, but they can at least avoid seeing my replies if that’s their issue.
Ooh, two replies! Didn’t mean to trigger you, friend. :)
And no matter how much you try to weasel out of it with misplaced semantics, you are still incorrect. :D
Not triggered at all. I just let you know that you’re actually still incorrect. :)
The evidence says otherwise.
