The deficit is actually down $100 billion since last year, but I guess it’s totally cool to just lie about shit to make yourself seem like the fiscally responsible candidate.

Just a reminder that a cornerstone of American libertarianism is the privatization of waterways.

Libertarianism is nestles wet dream.

If you actually see their post history, they look like a normal human and not a MAGA chud or tankie in disguise.

Don’t be a jerk.

I don’t spam at all.

And I didn’t write the article. And also, do you realize with party Libertarian votes would take away from? Think about that.

And again, I didn’t write the article. So if you are mad that things like this make the news, feel free to write the publishers of the news articles. This community is for posting of political news articles.

And this is a political news article. If it breaks the rules of the community, then the mods would remove it.

Posting political news articles to a Lemmy political news community is NOT spam. Please stay civil in your comments rather than throwing out baseless accusations.

In the last 24 hours you have made 34 posts. You absolutely are spamming.

Is there a rule against how many posts I’ve made? And most of the posts are IN ONE CONVERSATION IN ONE THREAD, that has had me and the poster just instantly replying back and forth to each other.

And I also posted several articles to the c/science sub. Some articles to the Green party sub. Some here, and some to a Socialist sub. Both subs of which I created and moderate.

What part of that is “spamming” to you?

In fact, go on, and cut and past the “34 posts” I have made right here to this thread. Let’s let everyone see what I’m posting. They could always just check my profile and history as well, but hey, I’m cool with you cutting/pasting my comments here for all to see.

Which parts are “spamming”?

“The Libertarian Party’s platform calls for significantly reducing the scope of the federal government by getting rid of regulations and cutting spending.”

I’m open… which regulations? Which spending?

How do Libertarians do again?

2020:

0
Pat Buchanan - Reform - 448,895 - 0.43% - 0
Harry Browne - Libertarian - 384,431 - 0.36% - 0

Edit Yes, you read that right. In 2004, one faithless elector cast an electoral college ballot for John Edwards. It’s commonly believed this was an error, but it counted anyway. Meaning a mistaken EC vote has counted more than all Libertarian and Green candidates combined in the past 1/4 century.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
