Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Dude I’ll keep it a stack with you. When I first saw you I thought you were an amusing bot. However seeing your message evolve over time, and the consistency with which you keep it up, I’m only left with a profound respect for the sheer effort involved if nothing else.
Ha! I’m not sure I’ve ever been accused of being a bot. But I do take advantage of copy and paste. 😊
Keep fighting the good fight!
I'm a actually just tired of the spam, and a little disappointed that so many people respect this way of using Lemmy. If everyone treated Lemmy like this user does, the place would fail catastrophically.
This guy started by just spamming the same comment verbatim dozens of times to different threads. That's just being a spammer. The reason you thought it was a bot is because the content was low quality and low effort.
And mailing pictures of dolphins and couches to J.D. Vance is funny as a joke, but I can't see it accomplishing anything else but generating a bit of paper waste. It certainly won't win Harris any votes, or lose Trump any votes. It's just petty trolling.
In less than 4 months America decides whether or not we're diving head-first into Fascism. Surely there are better forms of activism than whatever petulant nonsense this is.
