Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Oh, okay. Well you know Flying Squid better than I do because I didn't think he even implied that candidates were entitled to votes.

Please continue and tell me more about this Flying Squid fellow because I really thought I could get inside his head and figure out what he was thinking.

Good luck with that, as of now he seems to have multiple personality disorder, but I’m no doctor 🤷‍♂️

You're certainly not because that is not a recognized psychological disorder, but the issue here is that I thought I was Flying Squid, but you're telling me Flying Squid is saying things that I definitely did not in any way even imply.

So who am I?

By the way, can you please quote where Flying Squid said a candidate is entitled to votes? Because I've read everything Flying Squid has said in this thread and I have yet to find it.

(This is where you refuse to quote what you claim was said if this plays out how these things normally do.)

Edit: called it.

You pretty much implied it, I’m sorry if you can’t see the connection you yourself implied but maybe see that others in the thread also see and recognize the implications your statement made

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh look, you're back without a quote.

Fine, please quote the person you are claiming is me implying it.

You've literally already had a day. How many more days is it going to take? Because just admitting what you said is a lie isn't going to happen so I'm really interested to see if you're going to keep stretching this out or you're going to give up.

Anyway man I’m not going to argue with you about this I see you around on Lemmy and I agree with most of what you speak to…. Not gonna worry about this but we do need to stop blaming voters and blame the dnc
