If it took only 10 seconds to post each time, and 20 seconds to make a comment, that means you have spent:
(198 * 10) + (1240 * 20) = 26780 secondsOr, 7.44 hours, in one month. That’s almost 5% the amount of time people spend working full time. Almost a full work day. And these are extremely generous estimates that assume you are very fast. I have no doubt you have spent minutes responding to some of the comments calling you out.
A more realistic set of numbers would be
(198 * 30) + (1240 * 45) = 61740 secondsOr, 17.15 hours, in one month. That’s almost 43% the amount of time people spend working full time. Over 2 full work days.
To calculate the number of times you submitted content per waking hour:
(198 + 1240) / (16 * 30) = 3Or once every 20 minutes on average, assuming you sleep. Almost every single one promoting third party candidates. Totally and completely not sus, at all. Not even a little bit.
I don’t have to explain anything to you. But keep posting stats because I am posting more articles. Thank you!
Of course. You would only explain why you post three times per hour
- in favor of third party candidates
- suddenly, starting 3 months before the election
- increasing in frequency after the debate
- despite the massive amount of critical comments you get
If the explanation would not get you permabanned.
I don’t have to explain anything to you. Thanks!
But the fact is that if there were a legit reason, you would.
No one owes you an explanation for anything, You’re demanding an explanation for someone else’s actions the same way that Democrats demand votes from everyone. They’re not entitled and you were not entitled.
I am a Dem and I’d really love that all citizens people vote. Be good if they took an active interest in our democracy. Your statement isn’t entirely wrong it’s just not entirely correct.
Not entirely wrong and not entirely correct makes perfect sense for someone with a hammer a sickle next to their username.
Thank you!
Nope. I don’t have to explain anything to you. Stay as mad as you want. Under this username or your various other ones. But I owe you nothing. :)
Ah so this is return2ozma alt!
I don’t know what that means.
You apparently are pretty confused. “you have to” and “you would” are extremely different phrases, and I never once implied they were similar. Only that you wouldn’t need to pretend “the articles are interesting” is your motivation, in a context which implicates you as sketch af, if you weren’t sketch af.
You’d simply explain it and avoid thousands of replies telling you how horrible you are. I guess it’s possible you’re a masochist who likes being insulted, but I think the other explanation is much more likely ;)
You’d simply explain it and avoid thousands of replies telling you how horrible you are.
I don’t care if “thousands” of people are telling me how “horrible” I am. I can post what I want as long as it fits the community guidelines. And I will continue to do so.
And I don’t have to explain anything to you. Thank you!
Bet she also “urges” withdrawing support from Ukraine.
Doesn’t change my opinion of her. You are welcome to your opinion too.
How does she get to 270 again?
And where is she the other 3.5 years?
I don’t know. Ask her campaign. I support her attempt and admire her as a person, but I’m not voting for her.
Putin’s Jizz Stein also wants Nato disbanded, the US to give up their SC veto, and revoke weapons to help Ukraine defend itself while simultaneously forcing ‘peace’ (subjugation) negotiations with russia.
For those of you that don’t understand how the Electoral College works, voting for her means donald will be president. Have fun wasting your time reading the article.
Reported for misinformation, but I’m not seeing a problem here.
Wants NATO disbanded? Give up the Security Council vote?

https://www.isidewith.com/candidates/jill-stein/policies/foreign-policy/nato
Unsupport Ukraine?
https://www.isidewith.com/candidates/jill-stein/policies/foreign-policy/ukraine
Pretty much everything you’d expect from a Putin backed candidate.
And for the record guys, I’m not the one who reported for disinformation. Just getting that out of the way now, before accusations from other posters come at me! lol
BUT I think it may be the part where the poster says “voting for her means donald will be president.”
No, voting for her doesn’t automatically mean donald will be president. I mean, he “could” be, but it’s not set in stone. That’s an opinion of the poster, not an actual fact.
But I personally think that could have been pointed out to the poster, rather than reporting for misinformation.
Have fun wasting your time reading the article.
Thank you!
Reading comprehension not your strong point, eh?
No.
She’s trying so damn hard to get Trump elected lmao.
Almost as hard as OP is, whatever his name is this week.

Not sure what you mean. I also just posted a libertarian article where he wants to take down Trump. Hmmm…
https://lemmy.world/post/19662638
Doesn’t really fit your narrative though, does it? But hey, you believe what you wanna belive. I don’t care.
No one cares about the opinions of a Putin supporting Republican shill.
I guess some people do, I mean, they made a news article out of the subject.
It’s a fine take and I mean, I’d love to have the option to vote for that alternative, but realistically right now, none of us do. No matter which side of the aisle you’re on, if you abandon the side you’d normally vote for to vote third party, you’re only helping your own personal worst case scenario.
Really, all of these third party… parties should be focusing more on pushing for an alternate voting system. I know they say we should get away from two-party politics, but I rarely see any actual action taken to try and accomplish that. Ranked-choice was on the ballot 4 years ago in MA, but didn’t pass, and if these third parties had poured their campaign budget into getting it passed, they’d be getting my vote in November. As it stands, they won’t be. Their policies, frankly, don’t matter, because we can’t vote for them, as much as we’d like to, without voting against our own self-interests and really, those of the entire country.
abandon the side you’d normally vote for
That’s part of the liberal delusion we would not vote for a democrat or Republican, because we are not Democrats or Republicans. They do not represent the needs of the marginalized, the working class, They only represent the needs and the wants of the donor class. They only listen to the donor class While our needs get ignored.
Yep! Well said!
Any third party that only focuses on the presidency isn’t a real party. Jill Stein isn’t actually running for president. She is simply a foreign agent of Putin trying to act as a spoiler against the Democratic ticket. That is literally the only reason she is running.
Real political parties try to build power from the ground up. You want your party to be a serious candidate for president? Try winning several hundred state house seats and least a few dozen US house seats, maybe a Senator or two. I disagree vehemently with the Libertarian Party, but I’ll give them credit for being a real political party. Clowns like Stein, Kennedy, and West are just Republican agents running as spoiler candidates. They have zero intention of winning. Their only goal is to appeal to their own vanity and to syphon off a few percentage points from the Democratic candidate. That is the only reason they are running. They take Republican and Russian money and are doing the bidding of their masters. Anyone who even considered voting for them is a fool.
Real political parties try to build power from the ground up.

But what other elected office has Stein held?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein
"Stein began her political career by running as the Green-Rainbow Party candidate for governor of Massachusetts in 2002. Her running mate was Tony Lorenzen, a high school theology teacher. She finished third in a field of five candidates, with 76,530 votes (3.5%), far behind the winner, Republican Mitt Romney.[14]
In 2004, Stein ran for state representative for the 9th Middlesex District, which included portions of Waltham and Lexington. She received 3,911 votes (21.3%) in a three-way race, ahead of the Republican candidate but far behind Democratic incumbent Thomas M. Stanley.[15]
In 2005, Stein set her sights locally, running for the Lexington Town Meeting, a representative town meeting, the local legislative body in Lexington, Massachusetts. Stein was elected to one of seven seats in Precinct 2.[16] She finished first of 16 candidates, receiving 539 votes (20.6%). Stein was reelected in 2008, finishing second of 13 vying for eight seats.[17] Stein resigned during her second term to again run for governor.[18]
At the Green-Rainbow Party state convention on March 4, 2006, Stein was nominated for Secretary of the Commonwealth. In a two-way race with the three-term incumbent, Democrat Bill Galvin, she received 353,551 votes (17.7%).[19]
On February 8, 2010, Stein announced her second candidacy for governor.[20] Her running mate was Richard P. Purcell, a surgery clerk and ergonomics assessor.[21] In the November 2 general election, Stein finished fourth, receiving 32,895 votes (1.4%), again far behind the incumbent, Democrat Deval Patrick.[22]"
She’s a perennial candidate.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perennial_candidate
“A perennial candidate is a political candidate who frequently runs for elected office and rarely, if ever, wins.[1]”
She’s a perennial candidate.
I would agree with that about Jill Stein. But sometimes people are under the impression the entire green party is like that, which isn’t true.
This list proves my point. They hold less than 1% of 1% of LOCAL positions. According to your list, they don’t even hold a single seat in any statehouse in this country. It is an absolute disgusting joke that this party would seriously attempt to run a presidential candidate. This like an elementary school little league player trying out for an MLB team. It’s a complete embarrassment, a clown show.
What kind of hubris do you have to have to think your party has any business putting up a candidate for president when you don’t currently even a single God-damn state house seat?
And my point is that they don’t just run in presidential elections.
It’s a complete embarrassment, a clown show.
Well, they’ve made enough of an impact that the democrats are really really mad at them and want them off the ballet. So for a clown show, they are causing quite a stir.
I’m not voting for her, but I have no issues with Jill Stein. I like her.
I’d love to have the option to vote for that alternative, but realistically right now, none of us do.
I do and I AM voting for an alternative.
That’s not bright of you. You going to clutch your pearls as Trump is inaugurated?
How about when he carries you off to a camp?
You going to clutch your pearls as Trump is inaugurated?
No, because I am not afraid of him. You can be, but I’m not. I’ll vote for who I want. Thanks!
Don’t be afraid of Trump for yourself, be afraid of Trump for women, minorities, the rule of government, and posterity if he forces Thomas and Alito off the court like he did Kennedy and gets 2 more Supreme Court picks.
You mean those same women and minorities that are currently under threat by the duopoly? The marginalized are still kept marginalized by Democrat as much as they would be a Republican. 50 years of Democrat inaction on women’s rights led them to lose their reproductive rights.
Which Democrats are taking away reproductive rights? Or want to repeal womens rights to vote? It’s not the duopoly doing that.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/21/politics/john-gibbs-womens-suffrage-19th-amendment-kfile/index.html
Democrats fundraising off Rpe for 50 years while promising to codify is what got women’s reproductive rights taken away. Endless lip service is all they’ve ever been.
To cut through the nonsense and save everyone time, especially since many in this community have a habit of resorting to personal attacks when responding to posts recently: I support and respect everyone’s right to vote for who they want to.
I’m just posting this article that’s already available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy—I didn’t write it, just sharing it for discussion.
