    My issue isn’t the sources. The issue is we vote in a 2 party system. You can be critical all you want of a candidate, but at the end of the day you only have 2 real choices. A vote for third party is essentially not voting and that only hurts one of two parties. We saw what happens when people protest vote. So when 90% of the posts someone make are against one of two candidates and ignores obvious flaws in the system that lead to a lot of the criticism someone is posting it’s no longer just being critical. It’s an active campaign to dissuade people from voting for 1 of 2 candidates. When you only have 2 options and you are so adamantly against one you are pushing people to vote for the other.

      If you start Banning people because the majority of their posts, or not even a majority just a number, are critical of a singular candidate I think you’d be banning a lot of users who post anti-trump stuff. I might be among them.

      Also there is no rule that says I have to constantly be making post that talk about the flaws of a system that is in no way a reasonable stance to take. What’s posted is content. That content might be about flaws of the system, but the idea that we have to post certain topics to meet a certain threshold to be allowed to post is absurd. I’ve never posted a single link about the flaws of the system. Should I be banned? Have you?

        All I said was I hope other mods catch on to the very obvious anti Biden agenda. I’m not pushing for them to be ban everywhere idk why everyone is focusing so hard on that point. It was bad enough they weren’t allowed to post in news community anymore, and now it’s flowing into other communities.

          You on the other hand have an anti Biden agenda. Hopefully mods of other communities catch on. Tired of calling out this bs in every thread.

          Sounds like you want mods to prohibit him from posting.

          A simple look at their Post history will show you that they have always posted in a variety of communities and this is not a new phenomenon. I would also again Ask Why having an agenda or a biased matters. Most of us do clearly. This is an aggregator website. We just post content, there is no duty to being biased free in our posts. That a number of a person’s post hold a bias, not even all or even a majority of said posts, is irrelevant. Someone should not be banned because you don’t like what they say.

          Hell I’m only on this site because I was banned from Reddit for saying the only place a fascist belong is hanging from a gas station. Cuz Reddit admins are super Pro Nazis.

      If I wanted to protest vote, I’d write in Mickey Mouse or something silly like that. I vote Green because I believe in the candidates.
