"I'm Forcing you to talk about it, Anderson!" — Fiery Bernie Sanders jabs CNN at town hall : socialism

Anderson early in the exchange sadly looking down at his notes, as he begins to understand that things aren't going to proceed along the rails that he wanted, is absolutely perfect to behold.

Reminds me of this Jeff Daniels scene from NewsRoom.

I'm reporting you for voter fraud lol. There are four upvotes on your comment that are pretty suspect, including at least one that comes from an account that has a history of obvious clumsy voter fraud. I'll put details in the report.

There must have been some confusion about exactly what behavior I was talking about. Here, I filled in some of the details:

Hope that's helpful for you.

demesisx is the same person who you are accusing in this thread (demening_casually)? Certainly the usernames are similar.

Or are you just demonstrating that you can produce similar evidence if needed?

"demeaning casually" certainly describes their unacceptable behavior.

You failed to notice that demesisx made some comments at exactly the same time (to the second), which implies automation. That in itself is extremely damning.

Yes, demesisx and demeaning_casually are two alts of the same person. There were some others as well, I think they've all been banned at this point. They did the standard Lemmy bad-faith-person behavior of being hostile and obviously dishonest with the admin when the admin went to talk with them about it, at that point without the intention of banning them I don't think. For as unsuccessful a behavior as that is, it's pretty popular, I've dealt with it multiple times. I think the admin was able to find some more detailed information about it than I was, they caught a bunch of different alts.

The timestamps come from the time that votes get federated, which is often in batches a little bit after they were posted on the origin server. They're not reliable to the second. If I remember right you'll see batches of votes even from legitimate users come in all at the same time or within seconds if they're all on the same instance, and also there tends to be a reliable 30-second cycle on which they all get sent out in those batches. If you look on a scale of minutes, and there tend to be bunched-up votes from apparently different accounts that all are taking the same types of actions, that's more of a reliable sign of fuckery.

The batches make sense. Thanks for helping keep Lemmy clean.

Seeing Anderson trying to steer the topic away when Bernie started talking about the greed of insurance companies is hilarious

Could have been better if Bernie forgot to turn his phone off and a Mario Brothers ring tone kicked in.

Yes, Bernie Sanders was getting arrested at civil rights protests in the early 60s, and then writing op-eds about how socialism was the answer and a better world is possible in the 80s, because he was all being built up as a fake candidate for the present day and all leading up to where CNN wanted people going on and talking about wealth inequality and problems in the health care system.

Clearly. It all makes perfect sense. You're actually 100% correct as far as the whole operation being pretty much fake, but then someone comes on who's trying to poke a hole in the fakeness and you're getting real emotional and insulting about how that, we have to not pay attention to.

Also, you participated a little bit with the voter-fraud user down below.

Fascinating.
