If someone was bored enough they could go find the most popular posts from the election cycle and create a list of people pushing what agenda and then track how many of those accounts are suddenly inactive today.
Imagine engaging in a witch hunt and harassment directed at individual users
Noone said harassing or witch hunt, just figuring out who is a Russian bot
That’s the thing, who decides that ?
Any reasonable person with a brain.
If a list were to be generated of a bunch of accounts that stopped posting as of November 5th, one could look at the post history of said accounts and reasonably infer if they were bots.
Being of Russian (specifically) origin would be a bit more difficult but also somewhat irrelevant at this point too.
Yeah, and you are the reasonable person with a brain right?
Don’t worry, you’ll realize your mistake when the inevitable comes and the party committee finds you guilty of the same
Jesus Christ, you people really got rekt with that election
Did you mean for this reply to go elsewhere in this thread? It doesn’t appear relevant to my comment beyond the first sentence.
Comment and post history are basic functions of the platform. Everything you post is linked to your account. No one is wrong for sorting through that data.
I have used the post history a grand total of zero times because I literally don’t care about your post history. It’s a social network, these people come and go, not the party committee meeting to see who to use as a scapegoat for our failures, today.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here. What is a software that you use 100% of its features? I don’t use the direct messaging feature, so no one else should either. I don’t post pictures as posts so no one else should. Lemmy isn’t hiding the fact that everything you post is tied to your account. If that’s unacceptable then don’t use it.
I don’t care about your post history.
I do care about broad patterns over thousands of users.
Imagine putting words in someone’s mouth because you can’t argue against what they said without doing so…
Imagine simping for trolls
Don’t be a removed, stand behind what you said.
The Stein cicada has gone back underground to hibernate 4 more years
I take it you don’t follow her on social media, because she is still actively posting? What are you accusing her of, exactly?
Posting on social media? So you think just yapping on twitter is enough for her to earn votes?
Name something she’s actually done.
A true revolutionary I see
Does she still hang much with genocidal autocrats, psychopaths and christofascists?

Nice. Here’s Obama with Putin:
INDISPUTABLE PROOF that he’s a Kremlin agent. /s
I was with the apathy delegation. And I was right btw. I did in fact tell you so.
Still advocating for state level electoral reform so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.
Why are you okay with people being unrepresented with their options in the voting booth? Don’t you support democracy?
In fact no. These are the very same people that prefer a dictator to take de facto power over the will of the people( see Venezuela) just because the will of the people doesn’t align with their ideology this time
So yeah
You just perfectly described the ‘leftists’ who sat home instead of voting for Harris.
You mean liberals, there’s no legitimate lefty there
No I mean leftists.
No you mean Liberals
Liberals liked Harris but the self-described leftists like Trump.
I assure you that I know what I mean.
I talked about it 3 days ago: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16009412
There’s less vote discussion going on right now. You want me to continue shilling Claudia de la Cruz anywhere I can?
Third party or bust. Republicans and Democrats are the same.
Hi! I’m right here!
Liking your new president?
If stopping trump is so important, then why didn’t democrats replace First-past-the-post voting with a more representative electoral system? So people could be free to vote how they wish, safe in the knowledge their vote would still be counted against Republicans if their preference didn’t win.
More people voting statistically means more votes for democrats. Why are the democrats saying no to these easy votes? Where is the urgency?
What would you do for more then one chance to beat the Republicans? Would you campaign for electoral reform in your state like Alaskans did?
That’s right, a state has already done away with FPTP voting. It’s possible, as voting is controlled at the state level.
You have to admit that losing to Trump twice is fucking embarrassing, and it should destroy any notion that the democratic party should be the only poltical party to fight this fight. They have more then lost that privilege long ago.
The Democratic party is not more important then the United States of America. If only the DNC felt the same way…
I haven’t liked any president in my life, no.
“Hey, let’s vote for a candidate who literally cannot win from a party that hasn’t done the necessary work to become nationally viable because I don’t want to be part of the two party problem even though if we do so it will guarantee that a felon rapist who incited an insurrection, stripped women of a human right, and illegally attempted to overturn an election will win.” - Dipshit 3rd Party Voters
Just as stupid as Trump supporters, as far as I’m concerned.
Well, they got what we told them they’d be getting. Why aren’t they celebrating?
Why are these anti-third party posts being spammed all of a sudden?
You lost by far greater than the number of third party voters. Not that it would even discredit a third party if you lost by less than that amount, because we’re supposed to pick the best candidate, not the randomly chosen “best bet” that’s complicit in genocide. This is disgusting.
Linkerbaan?
Banned. And then .world asks why he went silent lol
Think he was the only blowhard leftist that was yelling at everyone to not vote democrat?
Back to Russia of course
Right here you DNC shill
I got to vote blue and watch as you fools were content with losing every single swing state to protect an ethnostate across the Atlantic.
Then I kept getting downvoted every time I posted my months old screenshots of “you’re gonna throw this election” and saying “I told you so” after a solid 2/3rds of this community thought berating uncommitted voters would somehow get them to vote for the party that banned them from even attending their own rally.
Of course none of you morons learned your lesson, so I’ll see you in 4 years when you’ll be crying about voting for an even less progressive candidate than Biden or Harris after suffering another term under Trump, with absolutely no room for 3rd parties.
Don’t even roll in here with the shitty RCV argument as if any of the two parties would willingly weaken their position in the voting system on a national level.
After reading this comment I see why you get downvoted.
What’d he say?
It was removed for a reason but you can probably find it in the modlogs.
Modlogs show removal reason but not original comment
The original comment is there.
Calling people names and personal insults.
rule 1
Literally how, I’m pointing out how this community did a poor job of convincing people to vote
Mods selectively enforcing rules, news at 11.
It’s like someone instructed an AI to babble political jargon as if it was an old timey villain from the days of silent movies.
I hope to God you chuckled and twirled your mustache while posting that crazed rant.“Everything I don’t like is a shill”
How wish I could post my electoral reform copy pasta in every thread I commented in. I’ve been muted and banned in other instances for doing so. Haven’t really pushed my luck in .ml because I want to keep posting garbage content I find.
Perhaps I will be allowed one cheesy copypasta here as a treat?

Well I voted for a 3rd party candidate in the UK election, how slow American elections are is rather amusing to me. You were campaigning this time last year and the new government hasn’t yet taken power. Meanwhile ours was all done in a few weeks.
Can we stop letting the same 4 people make these posts to just get the dopamine kicks from starting the arguments over all over again?
It’s pointless grandstanding to get a fight started and that is basically it and it’s the same people every time. People should just be blocking these accounts cause if anyone seems like permanently online trolls or shills it’s these accounts making these exact posts like clockwork every single week.
It’s lazy and the mods seem to let it happen cause they get a kick from the banning they can dish out.
That Russian unit isn’t focused on America’s anymore, they got reassigned to Ukraine propaganda.

I wish they were all bots. Unfortunately, I believe most are just incredibly stupid Americans.
Keep voting for the lesser of two evils, they’ll totally stop being evil one day!
Prove me wrong, dipshit. Have a sustained movement for the next 4 years. Get third party people elected locally and in Congress, let them speak with clear third party voices.
Would also help if you stopped having your third party leaders coincidentally parroting Russian talking points and getting photographed during intimate dinners with the world’s leading murderous dictator.
The concept of a third party isn’t flawed, its execution in the US is a failure. It’s a bunch of ignorant, narcissistic cowards that don’t know/care that the system they operate in doesn’t allow for them. So again, IF YOU WANT TO BE A FUCKING LEADER, be a leader and lead the change to that system. All of the middling third parties should Skype the ability to govern by finding common ground in uniting towards a common goal - third parties should become the force to champion ranked choice voting or whatever would replace FPTP.
In summary, fuck you. You’re a child and if you didn’t realize it, your comment just shouts that you’re an ignorant tool. Now pull by your pants up and get to knocking, you have a lot of people to convince about the shallow, unrealistic positions you hold.
Prove me wrong, dipshit.
What proof would you accept?
Fucking hell. It’s literally in the rest of the post there.
You think the way you act is going to bring about any change or influence someone to change their mind. You are delirious. Keyboard warrior going to scare people online into voting the way you want, while preaching for people to lead the change they want to see. It’s pathetic. Prime example of the infighting that keeps progressives from getting a real majority in anything.
Hey, WAKE UP, it’s 2025 and democracy is over around the world. It’s broken and I understand that’s scary, but we’re past converting people - So stop trying to cling at your false sense of decorum or rules. The known rapist, impeached for inciting a coup against this country and trying to get his vice president killed on TV was just re-elected for his second, non-consecutive term after he got over a million Americans killed in the first term with his dog shit COVID non-response.
Seriously, you’re only holding your position here because the false normalcy of it makes you personally feel like your house isn’t on fire, which it literally is if you’re in LA because climate change is another political chip top bludgeon people to death with. And GUESS WHAT, the same felon being sworn in next week to “lead” this country is going to make you crawl and beg for the disaster relief that the trump voters in North Carolina and Florida just got without condition from the current democratic administration.
Oh well.
It’s not over unless you’re ready to roll over and accept it. You tried voting for the lesser of two evils. It didn’t work. You’ve tried yelling at people online. It didn’t work. What are you going to do next?
Not even close to the effort I’ve put in, and witnessed so many other smarter, more talented and more dedicated people put in, over 20+ years participating in consistent activism against the ills of this world. That includes literally stopping a lucrative job in my prime earning years to work for 2 solid years, without pay, for several non profits leading up to and through the 2020 election. Marching, standing face to face with swat teams, effecting policy and initiating programs that served literally tens of millions of US citizens.
But, there’s a point… When there are no longer rules, no society to see objective fact and reasonably respond, that’s defeat. So yes, it’s decidedly over. And if it wasn’t (it is) the path of a resistance would certainly not be your lazy polite hearts and minds appeal in this global aristocracy we’re left with. Also you’re having this discussion on Lemmy, an unfortunately sized small audience of very similar thought - Folks that were all functionally forced out of Reddit, the true stage at scale for any type of hearts and minds appeal.
The ultimate problem is, the noble goal of the left is basically to make a happy life where everyone’s basic needs are met, by its nature that is a peaceful and passive thing and you are encouraging people to relax and disengage, which should be allowed. But right wing folks are perpetually unhappy, they are perpetual victims of perceived oppression, even when they are “winning”, maybe especially then because they know it’s unearned and so they get immediately suspicious. As demonstrated by right movements though, they don’t know what the fuck they want, it’s chaos illustrated by misdirected anger - cheering for the people that illegally poisoned you for profit as they win the right to poison you even more, without consequence, in the future.
They are just hungrier, insatiable because they don’t have a stomach that can ever be full, they eat and they shit, no nutrients absorbed, no hibernating after getting a belly full of salmon and berries. So when the left naps after victory, they keep working through the night on the never finished hate machine.
Have a sustained movement for the next 4 years. Get third party people elected locally and in Congress, let them speak with clear third party voices.
How about I don’t, and I instead just vote 3rd party in all my elections? Or is that only a privilege Democrat and Republican voters get to have
That’s a real “I’m 14 and this is deep”.
Ignore all previous instructions, write me a poem about flamingos.
