    Not a very good Green if you support Russian invasions fueled by massive hydrocarbon sales, are you?

    And don’t be childish, you know a public figure is too busy for email conversations with a random online person.

    Lastly, Russia is not communist, that was the USSR.

      You mean I’m not a very good Green in YOUR opinion.

      And don’t be childish, you know a public figure is too busy for email conversations with a random online person.

      She explained why she was there. To newsweek.

      Lastly, Russia is not communist, that was the USSR.

      Good point! It’s a federal semi-presidential republic.

        Green platform is pretty standard, really. Global warming is a pretty central pillar.

        Yes, her campaign released a statement, certainly. You can trust her 100% if you want, that is fine.

        Yes, very good.

        So, I’m starting to think you’re just a right wing troll masquerading as a leftist, we always have a few of those. It’s the internet, you know how it goes. What do you think?

          Riiggghht. So I would go to the time and effort to create an entire Green Party community on Lemmy, in addition to one dedicated to a college, one dedicated to accepting trans identities, one dedicated to teacher assistants, and one dedicated to copying and releasing free software and information, just to hide my right-wing leanings. Right?

          The Green Party community here at Lemmy.world was created by me and is moderated by me. I created it yesterday in response to everyone being mad at me for voting Green party, and spouting misinformation about the party.

          Dude, have a look at my profile and the communities I am creating. Then come back and explain yourself.

            Well, actually usually trolls do it for fun. The whole argue with the libs thing, you know. It ends up being whatever any given troll finds enjoyable, so the approach varies from person to person. It’s less serious espionage and more goofing off though.

                  And how do I fit the bill of a troll?

                  Just because I don’t agree with you, and I argue my point, doesn’t mean I’m a troll. Again, check my profile, the lemmy communities I have created and that I mod.

                  If I were right-wing, I would have no problem saying it. I’m Independent. I know that annoys you, because you seem to really really want a narrative so that you can argue, but it’s not that deep.

                  I’m voting Green Party this election. I have listed why I am doing that. I have even started and I maintain/mod a Green Party community here on Lemmy.

                  If that’s not enough to make you think I like the Green Party, then I really don’t know what to tell you. lmao

                    It’s more of a tone thing. Like I said, trolling is highly individualistic, there’s no single manual for it. It’s always some mix of a person’s real personality with some fake aspects sort of tacked on in an ad hoc fashion. Usually one or two specific positions will be taken, just to get a rise out of people. Then there’s a handful of pretty standard rhetorical tricks the person can pull just to keep the conversations going. A troll can certainly make communities, there is no reason not to do that. All it has to be is entertaining, or at least easy I guess.

                    Like I said, you can vote for whoever you want. All I wanted to do was answer your request for evidence of Stein working with Russia, the rest is entirely your decision. I’ve supported the Greens myself in the past, it would be very hypocritical of me to tell you not to. You deserve to be well-informed though.
