Sep. 1—Sid Daoud had a normal start to his day on Friday, Aug. 9. He went to work, not expecting a night of political coaxing. When a plane arrived in Kalispell that afternoon to fly the Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate to Bozeman to meet with Senate Republican hopeful Tim Sheehy and former President Donald Trump ahead of a rally, Daoud said that he was confused, but excited to talk about ...
But I am voting Third Party. It’s not my job to make you believe it.
And for the record, you are getting mad over a news article that is widely available on a site MUCH more accessible than Lemmy, and I didn’t write the article.
I posted it. Anyone can find it. More people read it off lemmy than on lemmy. So calm yourself.
And be mad all you want, I’m STILL not voting for your candidate. There is no law that says I have to vote for your candidate. There is no rule that says I have to vote for you candidate.
Shouting to who? This is Lemmy. Everyone here is voting for Harris anyway. Just who is it you are shouting to? lmao
So bully all you want. I’m not voting for Harris. If you wanna belive I’m voting for Trump, ok, go for it. I don’t care. :)
And I never said you had to vote for my candidate. I’m saying you’re an idiot and will hurt your agenda voting for your candidate, but in the end, you go into the voting booth alone and vote for what you want.
But if that’s all you were doing, we’d not be having a conversation at all. You’d vote Jill Stein and be unaware that you did the stupid thing, and I’d be blissfully unaware of your stupidity, too.
We’re having this conversation because you’re here shoving your “Imma gonna vote JILL STEIN” down our throat. If you kept that stupid shit to yourself, we’d not have any discussion at all, but…well, why ARE you shoving your Third Party choice down our throat?
The generous explanation is that you’re a True Believer. The other explanation can’t be used against individual posters due to Rule 3, but we CAN mention that there is a whole faction of people who want us to blow our vote on a third party who will not win because of how votes work in the USA, for the express and explicit purpose of ratfucking ALL Leftists with a Right-Wing Authoritarian government that will shut down all of our priorities.
We campaign so hard against this bullshit you’re shovelling at us because if enough voters listen to you and those like you and buy the bullshit about “Blue MAGA”, we’ll get real MAGA shoved down our throats. I love my Black Bisexual Goth Pagan wife too much to let you shovel your bullshit unopposed. If you think that’s bullying, well, too bad so sad, go vote for your stupid Third Party choice quietly and you won’t hear another word from me. Let’s see if you actually do that…
Removed, civility.
Please PM me about this. I wish to understand what specifically you found objectionable, and who I may appeal the removal to.
“I’m saying you’re an idiot”.
Rule 3:
“Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.”
I edited that to say ‘you’re making idiotic choices’. Did that not take? And would that be acceptable? If not, then how can I express that sentiment?
We shouldn’t be forced to fight with one hand tied behind our back here, Jordan. There ARE bad-faith debaters here, pushing misinformation and disinformation for the sole purpose of ratfucking us out of our vote. What passes your smell test for civility when calling these groups out? Are we supposed to just pretend like there are no bots or paid actors? Or is there a way that will pass your muster for calling out those bad actors without violating Rule 3?
And is there any way to get your decisions reviewed? It sure feels like you leave up an awful lot of incivil posts by the ‘Genocide Joe’ people, while targeting us who call them out for their nonsense? Can we get your moderation decisions reviewed for fairness?
PS: I asked you to PM me so we didn’t have this conversation in public. Having a public grievance on moderation decisions was not my choice. If you’d rather take this private, I’m still game for that.
If there are bad faith debaters, feel free to report them. If you engage with them, do so without attacking them.
The mods and admins had a sidebar on this user and concluded that, yes, they have shitty opinions, but having shitty opinions is not a violation.
I did restore the comment long enough to verify the original language is still there and re-removed it.
Good, because I’m not going to.
Nice personal insult. You can’t get your point across without calling me names? Now I won’t take anything else you say seriously.
You’ve also broken the civility rule of this sub. See rule 3.
I’m NOT voting for Jill Stein.
And I am reporting you for violating rule 3.
Dude, it’s not that hard to make a point without name calling. I haven’t called anyone names. But here you are calling me names. All because I am not voting for your candidate. Think about that. You can’t have a discussion with me without name-calling. Wow, just wow.
I’ll just let the 7 downvotes you have do all the talking. And to make sure I’m sticking EXACTLY to Rule 3, I’ll clarify that your choices are idiotic and stupid. If the Mods remove my comment over that, they’re making idiotic choices as well, allowing you to talk crap to us while tying our hands behind our backs when we fight back against your crap.
Have a nice day!
What?! I think the mods here do awesome. They have to put up with a LOT of crap and hate. What are you even talking about?!
The downvotes are nothing but proof that I’ve struck a nerve, exposing the fear and desperation of those clinging to the corrupt system. The truth always shakes the foundations of the status quo!
I totally respect and support your right to vote for who you want. Do you respect and support my right to do the same?
