    I’m just posting this article that’s already available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy—I didn’t write it, just sharing it for discussion.

    If you disagree with the article, that’s fine, but calling for it to be censored or accusing me of pushing an agenda just because I’m posting it or it’s not what you want to read is misguided. Open debate needs different perspectives, not censorship.

    I’m clarifying all of this due to past posters refusing to refrain from personal attacks and insults, as well as repeated baseless accusations that I’m a Republican, Russian, and/or that I’m not even an American citizen. And one poster has been repeating over and over that I’m not even human (?!).

    So I’d prefer we stick to discussing the article’s politics rather than focusing on me personally, if you’d like to engage with me. Now if you wanna just talk crap about me but not talk to me, then feel free. But I don’t really think that fits in with the spirit of this awesome community.

    I’m not here to prove anything to you. I’ll keep posting content that fits the community’s guidelines, and if you feel otherwise, the mods are available. Thank you!

      you don’t believe you have an agenda of increasing support for third parties to “fight against the two-party duopoly”?

        No, because this is Lemmy. You guys freakin’ hate third parties. lmao

        What on earth makes you think that anyone on Lemmy is gonna change their mind? Look at the replies. You’ve noted the hate and how I’m one of the few standing up for third parties.

        There is no one here to convert. I have some supporters interested in the articles and I’m glad they have something to read, but they’re already third-party people. It’s the same as all the pro-Harris posts in this sub. No one’s switching to Harris because of those posts — people post them because they like the content, and others who share their views enjoy reading them.

        It’s the same concept. Not everything has to be a grand agenda. I find these articles interesting, so I post them.

        I also post a ton of Neanderthal and paleoanthropology articles in the science sub. Do you think I’m trying to change people’s minds about Neanderthals? No, I just find it interesting, and others who do will read them.

        I’m not clever enough for some grand scheme. In fact, you yourself implied just how little cleverness I have. :)

        As I’ve mentioned several times, I believe we should focus on discussing the content of the articles posted from here on out, in order to keep with the spirit of this community. Thank you!

          As I’ve mentioned several times before, writing the exact same message over and over is odd. Please focus on writing unique messages. Thank you!

            Thanks, but you are still not talking about the specific content of the article. I believe we should focus on discussing the content of the articles posted from here on out, in order to keep with the spirit of this community. Thank you!

                You’re still not talking about the content of the article, so it seems obvious you don’t understand the message. Let’s stay focused on the content of the article especially since you’ve had some comments removed for personal attacks already today. Thank you!
