    No one, especially me, has said you broke any rules, or shouldn’t have posted this or any other article.

    I’m speaking to the motivation, which is a fine motivation to have. I don’t think you post every single us politics article that is written, you have interests (which again is fine).

      And that goes for the motivation of people posting the huge number of pro-democrat news articles. So I guess I’m not understanding your point.

      I read an interesting news article, and posted it to a political news community.

      I’ve read plenty of Harris articles too, but this sub is already filled with plenty of those. This is a diverse community, and I am adding to that diversity.

      There’s not secret plan or motivation on my part. I also post lots of non-political articles to other communities as well. Lemmy strives on people posting content. I did that.

        Your original reply suggests impartial firehosing, which is obviously not true, as described here.

        It’s not nefarious or secret, it’s just not what you originally said. You wanted different articles here and are doing it.

          Dude, what are you going on about?

          I posted a political news article to a political news community. What point are you even trying to make and why? Why does anybody post anything?

          I thought the article was interesting, it matched the theme of the community, I posted it. I have never pretended otherwise.

          Not only that, the original reply was to a guy saying no one was interested in it. And obviously the number of comments show otherwise.

          I’m still now sure what you are implying. Why don’t you just be clear and say what you mean?

          I am not going to, and never planned to, vote for Cornel West. lol

            You’re interested in it!

            You didn’t post it as some impartial conveyor belt.

            That’s fine. It’s just not what you said.

              Well then tell me what I said that has ruffled your feathers so much. I said this is a political news article, and I posted it to a political news community. Which is true.
