I remember arguing with OP on his first day here saying he was arguing in bad faith. Its funny because at the time OP was a stein fan, even started the green party here on lemmy (https://lemmy.world/c/GreenParty). And a few dozen other, lets say interesting communities.
But times they are a changing, just like their username has changed. Now their all in on … Rachele Fruit? Thats right, not Claudia De La Cruz, not Jill Stein, and not Cornell West.
OP I have one big question for you in reference to this post. Where the F did you find this horrible ‘news’ source. It was registered in July of this year. Their ‘local’ coverage is worldwide. They love the word DUOPOLY. To top it off I’ve found NO other source for De la Cruz being on the ballot in Tennessee.
Should I take someone serious who made 100’s of posts and 1000’s of comments in favor of one third party candidate, only to swap to a completely different one less than a month later?

I’ve never hid the fact that I started and mod the green party sub. Just today I was sending people links to it and I posted to it. And I’ve posted green party news articles to this community AND to the Green Party community today.
So I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. What communities did I start that you think are so “interesting”? Cuz I still have them up. So which ones were so interesting to you?
But times they are a changing, just like their username has changed.
My username hasn’t changed at all. We are not allowed to change usernames unless we start a new account. Are you confusing me with someone else? What are you even talking about?! I changed my “display name,” which we are totally allowed to do. It literally updates the names of every post I’ve made to the current user name. So I don’t even know what point you are trying to make.
Now their all in on … Rachele Fruit? Thats right, not Claudia De La Cruz, not Jill Stein, and not Cornell West.
Yes, you are right. I’m not voting for Stein—I’ve shifted my support to Rachele Fruit of the Socialist Workers Party, who aligns more closely with my socialist convictions. But I still support Stein’s fight to break the stranglehold the Democrats and Republicans have on this country. I update my views as I go through life. Like most educated people. And I still like Stein.
Just Fruit is closer to my socialist leanings. And I have mentioned this in other posts as well. This is nothing new. But I also really like De La Cruz. I’ve never liked West.
I’m not sure I understand why you are listing all the people that I am not voting for? You forgot to add Harris and Trump and Oliver to that list. And the others.

It was in my MSN news updates feed. It’s reporting the fact that Claudia De La Cruz is on the ballot in Tennessee now. Feel free to google search her ballot status if you would like.

What are you even going on about? I don’t write the news articles! Were you under the impression that I wrote the news? I just post it, friend. I don’t write it.
I also post third party news about libertarians and I don’t support them either. And as for this post, I’m not voting for Claudia De La Cruz. And I’m not voting for the libertarian candidate that I posted an article about.
Are you under the impression that we can only post news articles about candidates we are voting for?!
That is not the purpose of this community. This is a political news community. Not a “This is who I am voting for” community. What made you so confused about that? This community’s name is “politics.” We don’t have to only post articles on people we are voting for.
I’m really concerned if you have been reading this community all the time and were under that impression. Are you ok? Serious question. You seem wound up.
It was in my MSN news updates feed.
So it turns out you can actually go to MSN and check what sources exist in their news aggregator. Neither “County Local News” nor its associated domain name is listed.
Even if what you said was true, you still have the responsibility not to share fraudulent sources, but given your choice to lie, I’m going to guess you’re a backlink farmer pushing bullshit sources on purpose.

Well here is a post from the party themselves too. But let me guess, since it’s on X, that’s a lie too, right? I mean, you can check their ballot status in the state with other sources too. There’s no lie, friend. They are on the Tennessee ballot. Not sure why that makes you so angry.

“Socialist Presidential candidate Claudia De la Cruz is officially on the ballot in Tennessee! Poor and working class people across the South, in particular Black America, have been abandoned by the corporate-backed, two-party system. It’s time that the people of Tennessee have an option — a socialist option — that truly speaks to their needs! Help us continue to build the socialist movement across the South.”
And I don’t even know what a backlink farmer is. But considering that most of the time, I’m being called a Putin Russian Asset Troll Farmer, I guess I’ll add your insult to my made-up farming resume. Now according to you all, I guess I’m a Putin Russian Asset Backlink Troll Farmer living in a russian apartment getting paid with “russian bitcoins.” I’m moving up in life. I hope the pay is getting better too!
I don’t care if your completely unvetted mystery source is technically telling the truth here, I care that you seem to believe everything you read online regardless of whether or not there’s a reputable source.
There are plenty of actual news sources you could have used, but you chose to share the most dubious source possible.
“County Local News” is clearly some sort of op. What County? Local to what? What’s with the bylines? Who is “Egbe Ogu”, and did he really write every article on the site?
It’s probably just AI generated slop grinding for ad revenue, and it clearly reflects the quality of the information you readily consume.
EDIT: Just realized you posted an X link that nobody here is going to click. No wonder you’re consuming fake / AI generated news sources. You’re still connected to Elon Musk’s disinformation machine…

All of that just because I posted that De la Cruz is on the Tennessee ballot?! Um, yeah, ok…

I saw it in a news feed, thought it was interesting, posted it. It’s not some grand conspiracy, friend. I found out she got on the Tennessee ballot and I posted it. She also announced it on X.
You know, you could just block me if I wind you up so much. I don’t think reading stuff from me is very healthy for you.
You seem very upset over a simple news item. Are you ok, friend? Serious question. Because you are taking this way too personal. I mean that sincerely. Brother, it’s not that serious. If you don’t like a news article I post, just don’t read it and move on. Obsessing about it is not healthy. Seriously, for your own health, you gotta let some stuff go.
I didn’t write the article, I am not the editor of it. I saw it, it was confirmed by the actual candidate on X, and I posted it. Move on.
You can stop repeating yourself and concern trolling now. The issue people take with this post has been adequately communicated to you, now it’s up to you to understand it.

You are the one that brought up what you thought the issues were, and I replied.

By “people,” you mean YOU. And you communicated it to me, and I communicated my reasoning to you. Now it’s up to you to understand my reply to your concerns.
You chose to get all upset and go off on a rant about how I believe everything I read on the interwebs. Even the information is true and was confirmed by the candidate herself. So not sure what’s up with you. I hope you are ok.
Brother, I gave you tips on how to let it go and move on. It’s on you if you choose not to.
You should really find another source. That one has porn popups and worse.
Sorry! I guess my ad blocker stops them. I didn’t see any popups.

Rachele Fruit wasn’t on the ballot in the state I lived in, and so at the time, the closest to my values was Jill Stein. But now she has the required sigs to get on the ballet in my current state, so now I can vote for her.
I still support Stein and like her. And I still post Green Party articles.
You seem really confused and upset. Is there anything else I can help clarify for you to help you feel better, friend?

It seems like a good time to start ground swell for a socialist party, but a bad year to run a candidate as we appear to finally have a progressive candidate in a major party. You don’t have to agree with everything someone believes to know that they’re going to move the country forward. If anything this will dilute VP Harris’s support and make it more likely to get Trump, and after 4 years of Trump there won’t be any socialism in America.

Well I totally support and respect your opinion on that. For me personally, I’m not waiting anymore. I don’t vote based on fear, I vote based on which candidate is the closet to my values. And Harris isn’t the one.
(Nor is Trump, for my “but but he’s a Putin asset and loves Trump!! He’s probably not even here in the US!!” fanclub out there.)
