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!

MODERATORS
Trust, I know that you've got a major case of main character syndrome, but unfortunately it's not that a lot of people are seeing you, it's that you post so much propaganda and spam that it really starts to add up.
I mean, right now you're averaging 13 downvotes for every submission and comment you have. 473 posts, 2890 comments, and about 45,000 downvotes total, and that's all in the last two months since you created your account here. Those are some insane numbers. That's like a downvote every two minutes for the last two months.
I updated my profile to incorporate some of the stats you mentioned. Thanks, friend! :)
You should totally keep them updated as they increase. Not only for me, but also so people immediately see how much of a main character you are.
Good suggestion. I actually don't keep track of those stats, but since you do, could you update me regularly on them? Thanks for your help! :)
Well, I'm sure I or someone else here will post them again because it's such an incredible achievement. You've definitely got the #1 most downvotes on Lemmy, at least from what I've seen. I'll include it with your greatest hits like "I only post the propaganda, I didn't write it!" or "bring it up to the mods [so that I can hide behind them]"
Doesn’t bother me at all.
In fact, if people are getting so worked up just because I go against the status quo, that means I must be doing something right!
So thanks for the stats—I may even add that info to my profile! (EDIT: Profile updated.)
Feels pretty awesome, actually. Thank you! :)
Are you 12?
No.
Now you're using direct Trump quotes on top of just having main character syndrome? Are you Trump himself, or just following in his footsteps?
Either way, it makes my job easier if you add it to your profile. I'll still post them because most people avoid your profile altogether.
Thank you! :)
This is a pretty standard far-right talking point, but makes no sense. By this logic, every serial killer and rapist must be "doing something right" just because they are going against the status quo and people don't like them.
Thanks for your opinion! :)
Do you recognize no difference between logic and opinion? How about mathematics? Is 2+2=4 a matter of opinion?
They absolutely abhor logic
