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.

lol! You're making minimum wage thanks to a guy named FDR, who was a Dem.
If it weren't for him, you'd be making far less.
I'm a socialist. I know the benefits and lack of benefits we have. I'm still not going to vote Harris. Do you understand? I. Am. NOT. Voting. Democrat.
But thank you!

Muslim groups have endorsed Harris over Trump.
Because of actually looking at the issues and not voting their feelings.
Ok, and some Muslims are voting for Stein. Cool!
I'm voting for who I want to as is my right. Thank you!
That's the mentality that's kept you at minimum wage all your life.
Hmmm, so that sounds like you are poverty shaming. I hear someone's privilege talking.
And actually, friend, even tho I am under no obligation to explain it to you (but I have said it before in other posts), I'm a teaching assistant in an underprivileged and underfunded public school. And my role is badly needed, and no one else will do it for this pay. So keep letting your privilege talking and trying to mock people. I'll happily keep doing what I'm doing. Thank you!
I'm not 'poverty shaming. I'm shaming you.
You could have gone out and gotten a better job and paid for five or six teaching assistants if you really wanted to change the world.
Even if your story is true, it shows that you haven't got much good sense.

BTW, teaching assistants in Mississippi make S10.45/hour. Minimum wage is still $7.25
I don't know what you're teaching those kids, I just hope it's not math
And it is having no effect whatsoever because I'm not changing my mind on voting for a third party. But if it makes you feel good about yourself to shame someone because of their income, have at it. People with privilege always seem to think that way. Hmmm...
So because you don't agree with me, everything I say is untrue, right?! Well if we use that logic, then everything you say may be untrue because I don't agree with you. See how that works?
What makes you think I am in Mississippi? I've never mentioned that. I haven't told anyone which state and city I live in. And if you saw the DM's I get from stalkers here, you'd know why.
And I'm feeling just fine about my teaching role. Thank you!
I believe that people are stalking you the same way I believe anyone would let you near an actual child.
So I shouldn't be allowed around children because I disagree with you on who to vote for?! WHAT?! lol
You are free to believe whatever you want. Doesn't change the facts. Thank you! :)
The fact you can't figure out why I said you shouldn't be allowed near children is the reason you shouldn't be allowed near children.
Maybe you can clarify for me and help me out. Why shouldn't I be allowed near children?
Women dying because of Trump's abortion laws is of no concern to you.
Your pathetic confusion is of no concern to me.
I had nothing to do with Trump's abortion laws. I didn't vote for him. And I'm not going to vote for him.
So because of decisions of a president that I didn't vote for, I shouldn't be allowed near children?! What?! lolololol
Dude, I have children. What are you even going on about?! lolololol
You get funnier and funnier the more you whine.
So now you're claiming to have children [plural] who you are raising on your minimum wage salary.
I guess it never occurred to you to get a better job to provide for your own kids.
Don't hurt yourself in your confusion.
What makes you think my children are still little? Friend, I've been voting since before you were born. lol
I took a few minutes to contemplate your nonsense.
If you were born in 1970 you could have been a full time nurse or big city fire fighter by 1990, and been retired with a 30 year pension. That would have been enough to pay for two 'minimum wage' plus raise your family with things like optical and dental care.
By your words you failed your own family, failed to help more than a tiny handful of children, and are currently useless to any potential grandchildren except as a horrible example of arrogance and failure.
I actually hope you're just a troll, because I hate the idea of someone as stupid as that inflicting their silliness on an unprotected child.
Nothing you said has anything to do with me. What are you even going on about?! lmao
Nothing anyone says has anything to do with you. You're off in your own little world where you can tell yourself you matter.
Have fun.
Oh, good to know! Thank you!! :)
I honestly doubt you're old enough to vote.
Friend, I have been voting for longer than you have been alive. I voted in the 1988 election. Just because you don't agree with me, doesn't mean I am in high school. Thank you!
My friend, if you're that age and still making minimum wage you've said all that needs to be said.
But I'll add this because it's funny to me.
Muslims have decided that Trump is the greater threat and endorsed Harris.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/key-muslim-group-endorses-harris-says-trump-bigger-danger-2024-09-25/
Nope. Because you have no idea what my life is like or what I do. Are you trying to poverty shame me because you are more privileged that me? Eww!
And there are also Muslims that will vote for Stein: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/how-jill-stein-s-muslim-surge-could-sink-kamala-harris/ar-AA1qWT7C?ocid=BingNewsSerp
