Jill Stein is pretty cool though. I wouldn’t vote for her, but I think she has some great points to make. It’ll be interesting what the Green Party does now.

I didn’t say you spoke of a rule like that.

What point are you trying to make by telling me the age of my account?

So is there a rule that accounts have to be a certain age before posting? I don’t see that rule anywhere.

What?! I don’t know what you’re implying. Most of my adult life I’ve been a fan of UBI.

You’d think Newsom would be smart enough to recognize that.

So why do you think he’s not recognizing it?

What do you mean? I’ve always been a fan of UBI

I’d be all for UBI

And regardless of your server, the vast vast majority of Lemmy swings left. I wasn’t talking about individual servers, I was talking about the vast majority of Lemmy. That’s my point.

And you do realize that Lemmy has a very very large majority of people who are anti-conservative, right? So when people talk about Lemmy in the scenario I noted, it’s taken to mean the majority. And in this case, I mean the vast vast vast majority.

And I honestly believe that you know he is as well.

And you would be incorrect in that assumption, and I think as you are a mod of this community, that it’s inappropriate for you to say that about me, especially since I have stated my opinion directly to you. You have no proof whatsoever that I believe he’s a fascist. I have stated several times in this very thread that I don’t believe he is.

I’m aware that it’s an unpopular opinion here. However, I am allowed it. As you are allowed yours. I would prefer to move on from this conversation. Thank you.

I don’t agree with the opinion that he’s a fascist. As I’ve already said. I’m not sure why you keep pressing the point. You’re not going to change your mind. I’m not going to change my mind.

You have the right to your opinion. I have the right to mine. It’s ok that we don’t agree.

You are telling other people they’re wrong for calling him a fascist, which by the way- is an opinion they are entitled to.

I’m saying I disagree with that opinion. They are entitled to their opinions (as I have often said) and I am entitled to mine.

I am somehow mad

Good point. I shouldn’t have assumed you are mad. Apologies.

Heads up: you’re not a victim here.

I’ve never said I’m a victim. It’s a Lemmy discussion about a news article. It’s not that serious.

They’re just holding up the mirror, if you don’t like what you see- that’s a you problem.

I’m fine with my reflection, thx.

If you want to say he’s not a fascist.

I’ve already said several times that I don’t think he’s a fascist. You haven’t blown any wind out of my sails. I’ve told you specifically that I don’t agree with your opinion that he’s a fascist.

If you don’t like this. Then maybe this community isn’t for you.

I’m fine with this community. That’s why I post here.

I remember before the election, there were polls that said Trump was rising. Lemmy said “fake polls!” and “No way! This is propaganda!” And um, look what happened…

EDIT: Then Trump gets elected, Lemmy has shocked face, and can’t understand how it was possible. Because there are a lot of people on Lemmy who refuse to listen to outside information if it doesn’t fit their narrative. And they’re outright hostile to anyone who talks against that narrative as well. So I believe the polls.

Yeah, I do admit you are proving that saying right lol

I don’t think he’s a fascist. And there is nothing wrong with me thinking that. Lots of people disagree with you and that’s why he’s president. You can be as mad as you want.

The fact is, I don’t share your opinion. Accept it. You haven’t changed my mind. He’s still president. And people are allowed to post news articles about him. Even if you hate him.

Those are facts. Move on. You’re just repeating the same thing over and over. You’re not going to change your mind. And I’m not either. It’s ok. Move on.

Which a lot in this thread are proving!

He is one by his actions.

In your opinion. Not everyone shares your opinion. You have a right to your opinion. I have a right to mine.

I sincerely hope this puts an end to your bad faith attempts to stir up arguments

I’m not attempting to argue. I’m saying that just becuase you and most of Lemmy have an opinion that he’s a fascist, doesn’t make it a fact. I’ll wait for AP News or Reuters to say that before I believe. thx

But if that were true, then banning UM didn’t really work, did it? And UM is still around and he/she posts plenty and they have their own instance. So you didn’t get rid of him/her anyway regardless of usernames.

Universal Monk isn’t the only anti-democrat poster who posts to Lemmy. And besides, they didn’t like Trump

I am one of those who does like Trump.

is there something somewhere that says that OP is universal monk?

I don’t believe Trump is a fascist. ap news and reuters don’t call him a fascist. I get that you think that. That’s your right. Just as it’s my right to disagree with you
