Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Been some time since I've used lemmy on a web browser, but unless I'm mistaken, if you were logged into your FlyingSquid account when this screenshot was taken, the username would be highlighted in some way.

This literally looks like a screenshot of you using a sockpuppet account lol

Okay, well you are the expert here. It was definitely the sockpuppet accounts I must have. That couldn't possibly be another one of your lies.

You literally posted a screenshot where your comments are upvoted despite not being logged into that account... Again with this "lies" shit. It's real weird, dude. Why the fuck would I lie when I don't even know what this thread was even originally about at this point? I misremembered how it began, because it was a throwaway comment I made 4 fucking days ago.

It's funny, because I see your comments around and I often agree completely with what you're saying. I have found it very bizarre and bemusing that you've continued with this strangely antagonistic comment thread for so long.

Are you an LLM? Lol only half joking.

That's an interesting thing to say coming from the person who revived the thread after four days.
