Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
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!
Civic Links
• Congressional Awards Program
• Library of Congress Legislative Resources
• U.S. House of Representatives
Partnered Communities:
• News
Well, Newsweek. That's really fucking weird of you to say that, because Activote sure isn't making that claim at all:
So now I'm REALLY fucking curious as to why this article exists, and the data is wrong. Also, Activote is an app, not a "real" polling platform.
Last couple of things I've seen from newsweek went hard right. I don't know when they became part of the propaganda machine, but it's severe.
Yes, that's why I checked. It certainly seems there is a concerted effort in their behalf to be publishing positive news for Trump, that is later pointed out to be incorrect and retracted.
In the sixty-three days since this account was created, it has made five thousand one hundred and seven submissions
That averages out to once every seventeen minutes and forty-five seconds twenty-four hours seven days a week
"They" are actually getting marginally faster over time. I am going to make an educated guess that their post frequency will continue to escalate the closer we get to the election. I'll leave it open for speculation why that might be so my comment doesn't get scrubbed...
They are enjoying the chaos they are creating in this community and it will get worse as the election get closer.
I wish they would just be banned until November 6th and see if they come back with the same posting frequency after.
Hard agree.
Monk's script:
Nailed it.
A lot of their content are tortured contrivances to be able to respond with "no you," because they are emotionally a petulant child.
For example, regarding supporting a viable candidate instead of throwing a vote in the trash, they respond with, "every vote for your viable candidate harms the chances of [nonviable third party who isn't even on the ballots]."
"Various organisations in Nazi Germany required their members to swear oaths to Adolf Hitler by name, rather than to the German state"
Websites that have banned this user:
It seems likely the reason each one banned him is the same reason their every post and comment is sitting at < -25. People detest the anti-democrat messaging and the way it’s delivered. It’s undeniable that this user rubs enough people the wrong way that they get a lot of attention for that alone.
During an election year especially, I expect better of any social media website than to just let this shit happen.
Reddit bans everyone though, that's not a good marker. ;)
From a modding perspective, I look at it like this:
"Would this link be allowed if it were anyone OTHER than Monk posting it?"
Yes? It stays. I'm sorry you don't like it, but it's a valid link from a valid source.
Yeah, I don't really understand the idea that a long history of a certain type of toxic behavior doesn't count for anything. I think it should.
.
Oh, we get reports on the articles themselves ALL THE TIME.
.
The point is that the user themselves is toxic to have here, especially during an election season.
I'm starting to notice a trend with your posts.
ha, 
So it looks like they have averaged over 28 downvotes per hour since they joined.
40678/(60*24) = 28.24861111111111111111111111
That's about a downvote every couple of minutes. If they weren't evil it might almost be impressive.
yeah, he is a paid asset
Nah, probably does it for free due to his (very poorly concealed) ideology.
And is almost certainly a cisgender, heterosexual male, and my bet is that they're actually Mormon.
