    Don’t have to subscribe to every viewpoint in articles you post? Sure, I get that. But to post one written by someone who is so obviously anti everything you believe in is just weird. There’s plenty of other anti Harris articles out there to post that aren’t written by people inherently opposed to everything you believe in.

    Also, something I’ve genuinely been wondering, why post any articles praising Trump? He’s a fascist, you’ve said you’re not scared of him, but he’s still a fascist. Fascists are not worthy of any praise. You can say you don’t agree with the articles praising him, but why do you even find those articles interesting?

      You can bring that up with The Hill, the respected news org that published the article. I didn’t write it, thought it was interesting. Posted it. That’s it.

      I’ve posted articles that are pro-Trump and I’ve posted articles that are anti-Trump. Same with Harris. Same with Stein.

      It’s political news, this is a political news community. Thanks!

        I’m bringing it to your attention that posting propaganda is the same thing as writing it. This is a political news community, not a political propaganda community.

          And I posted a political news article. If you don’t think the article fits the community guidelines, then please message the mods. They are very responsive. Thanks!

            Sorry, did I say you violated rules? I said you were just as bad as as the propagandists, not that you broke rules. You’re just a shitty poster, that’s not against the rules.

            Also, love that you’re still glitching with the thank yous. It really shows that you don’t actually give a shit.

        Correct. You posted it. Which means you wanted others to read it. And I don’t understand posting something written by a piece of shit when there are plenty of other anti Harris articles out there written by not pieces of shit. You don’t have to post everything you find interesting, you chose to post this.

        And that doesn’t answer my question of why you’d find an article praising Trump to be interesting? I’m trying to have a conversation with ya and you seem very resistant to it. I’m not trying to be insulting, I’m just wanting to understand your rationale.

        • I don’t and can’t speak for OP, but I had a thought here. Somehow it feels similar to change my mind by steven crowder (for those not familiar, he adopts a position he supports but then seeks out folks who believe the opposite to debate them).

          Correct. You posted it. Which means you wanted others to read it.

          I posted it so that others could read it if they wished. I’m ambivalent about people reading or not reading the articles. And it’s not my issue if you don’t understand posting something you don’t agree with. Feel free to only post things you do agree with. You are free to do that. As I am free to post what I post.

          Thank you!

          • Basically, it’s like you feel the urge to share things that strike your interest as opposed to sharing things that you deeply agree with. In fact they may strike your interest because they’re so opposite to what beliefs you hold. So there’s not always a one-to-one relationship between what’s interesting and what one agrees with.

        Dear The Hill:

        Please make this sea lion stop posting propaganda in favor of trump.

        Thanks!
