You misread my comment. I directly said you should vote for who you want and truly mean that. What I said was that your vote IN TERMS OF ACTUALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE OUTCOME is a wasted vote, and that is a fact that comes with the FPTP voting system.
But since you snapped back with throwing shade at "my candidate" your posts and comments are even more suspicious.
I'll be blocking your spam from here on out. I really do think you should vote for who you want though. It's just not going to make a damn bit of difference in this election.
I suppose we can take it as a sign that Lemmy is growing that astroturfers, propagandists and trolls are even bothering being active here. And let's not forget Russian operatives I guess, given their track record of promoting their possible asset Jill Stein.
How is my bio nonsensical? What part don't you understand? Is there some Lemmy bio etiquette that I didn't hear about?
I’ve also started 10 communities in that time that range from college communities, to communities about teaching assistants, one about a food replacement shake, and even a socialist community. All in an effort to help build this awesome fediverse and make Lemmy a contender in the social forum arena.
So doing my part by posting and creating content right after I joined up, is a bad thing? Is that what you are implying? Feel free to clarify if I misread your tone.
So curious, how long was I supposed to wait after starting an account, to post things I believe in? What is the time period you are looking for? I mean, we can post on the same day we create an account. Do you think there should be a waiting period?
How long did YOU wait before your first post after you started a Lemmy account?
I'm a Green Party/Socialist. That's about as far away from the "Old Don" party as you can get. Just because I am not voting for YOUR party doesn't mean I am a republican.
And I have never evaded a ban on here at all. And I am reporting you for breaking the rule of civility and falsely accusing me of being a ban evader.
I will. And it's Jill Stein
Not wasted at all, because I am voting for who I want to vote for. As is my right.
Spam? I don't think that word means what you think it means. But yes, feel free to block me, because you haven't changed my mind. At all.
