Oh well if you ARE older than me, then my apologies. Because it’s usually people 30 years younger yelling at me. But you are right, I made that assumption.
And I didn’t say I’m not voting, I said I’m not voting for Stein. I’ve always been honest.
So you’re not voting for Harris, or trump, or Stein – why are your posts almost exclusively pro-Stein?
Did you even look at my links? How can you be my age and so completely blind to the political landscape?
Which issues are you stuck on, to the point you’re this coy and uninformed enough to be advocating for a spoiler in favour of a documented autocrat? I’m seriously at a loss.
I post articles, I don’t write them. What makes you think that I have to agree 100 percent with every article I post? That’s not a rule, nor is it a goal of this political news community.
I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.
I’m actually voting Socialist Workers Party. I believe in choices, and I support people voting for whoever they want. That is their right. As it’s my right. Thank you!
Why aren’t you posting all the Harris articles if you don’t care? Or just cat memes? Nobody is buying your ‘just asking questions’ shtick. This is why you were banned for sea-lioning.
I don’t believe you’re as old as you say. You act like a 23 year-old libertarian who’s just learning philosophy, with a rudimentary understanding and just enough edge to cut cheese. The more you talk, the less serious you sound.
I really hope you’re in your early 20s, because otherwise this is embarrassing.
I was banned 3 days for sealioning, that is correct. I disagree with the mods reasoning, but this is their community, their rules, so I am fine with it.
But you know what I realized during those three days? There are a lot of other Lemmy communities where people are open about voting third party. Cool, right?!
I ended up spending my time posting and chatting with like-minded folks, and it was actually fun! My voice wasn’t silenced at all—I just found bigger audiences who appreciated the same articles and wanted real discussions.
Not everyone thinks like you. And that’s ok.
You are free to believe whatever you would like. I don’t have to explain anything more to you. Thank you!
So why did you come back here, where people are rational?
Again, if you truly believe that 3rd parties need a place at the table (and for the record, I truly believe they do), you should be pushing people to support FairVote Action, not Jill Stein.
Considering your nearly inhuman posting frequency, you could be an effective agent for actual change. So why are you wasting your time doing this instead of using your considerable free time to actually make a difference?
In short, it’s a form of trolling. Sealioning is defined specifically by the following characteristics:
A faux veneer of civility. That’s because the troll wants to play victim when others lose their sense of civility dealing with said troll.
Persistence. Another poster here points out how often this poster posts, and it comes out to once every 18 minutes, every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A Sealion tries to erode one’s sense of goodwill and decorum by constantly hounding people that disagree with it,
A fake attempt to appear to be trying to educate oneself or others.
Sealioning isn’t an exact match for this poster’s behaviour, but it’s damn close. Little petty grammar and spelling nazi comments. Intruding into other people’s DMs without permission. Constantly hiding behind the community rules. Using and abusing the fuck out of laws of civility and this community, while having zero intention to do anything but be disruptive, annoying, insulting, condescending, and otherwise just plain unpleasant, secure in the knowledge that we can’t call it out for what it is because the Mods have handcuffed us with these silly ‘be civil’ rules.
The mods have actually tagged this poster with a three day timeout for being a troll. I don’t think that gives me permission to carte blanc call this poster a troll, but I can at least point out every time I see it pushing its latest nonsense that the moderator team here has suspended its access for 3 days for trolling. We’ll see if the mods let that stay up. Given the nonsense that the mods have let stay up for the person they put in time out for being a troll, I hope it will. Kind of like calling out a convicted thief as a thief, or a convicted fraudster as a fraudster. Just with a silly extra step because we wouldn’t want to be uncivil to someone who is wanting to be uncivil to us.
What country do you live in?
Oh I am being the change I wanna see. I want to see diversity of political thought without bullying.
What county do I live in? I’m here in the US. Where do you think I am?! lol
Friend, I’ve been voting since before you were born. I’ve been voting since 1988.
lol. Friend, I’m older than you. Stop assuming things about people.
You said you’re not voting. Why are you relentlessly pushing Stein? Be honest.
Oh well if you ARE older than me, then my apologies. Because it’s usually people 30 years younger yelling at me. But you are right, I made that assumption.

Come on. This is just insulting.

This poster disagrees that it was guilty of Sealioning. That’s amusing.
