Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well, Newsweek. That's really fucking weird of you to say that, because Activote sure isn't making that claim at all:
So now I'm REALLY fucking curious as to why this article exists, and the data is wrong. Also, Activote is an app, not a "real" polling platform.
Last couple of things I've seen from newsweek went hard right. I don't know when they became part of the propaganda machine, but it's severe.
Yes, that's why I checked. It certainly seems there is a concerted effort in their behalf to be publishing positive news for Trump, that is later pointed out to be incorrect and retracted.
Maybe time for the bot to update these factors on Newsweek then:
Credibility: High - Factual Reporting: Mostly Factual
It gets those externally, and it's not a very good source.
Eh, ideally there's be a way to a) tell the external source it's time to update and b) have an admin or the bot owner apply a manual patch in cases where the original source won't obey (e.g. because MFBC is owned by the outlet that they're reporting on or something). Perhaps a topic best discussed elsewhere though..
Contact the editors and voice your concerns. If they are posting fake statistics, then call them out on it.
If you're going to post a topic, at least attempt to discuss it.
Which editors instructed you to post it here?
Quit trying to stifle conversation within this thread. People are allowed to discuss this issue amongst themselves beyond simply talking to the publication's editors.
Note how this OP is entirely unconcerned with anything but deflection
I didn't write the article though, so I can't speak for the writer of the article.
I'm writing you directly as the OP that posting propaganda is the same thing as writing it.
If you have no relation to this or any article, maybe don't post them.
I post artices that I find interesting. Do you think that only people who are "related" to the articles are allowed to post?!
Here's another chance -- what do you find interesting about it?
I think if you post it, you don't get to pretend you didn't do so for a specific reason. As others pointed out, you'll never say why anything is interesting, so you clearly don't want to talk about anything.
Why did you share a low quality article with poorly sourced information? Do you think spreading lies and misinformation is okay just because it supports your agenda?
Thai account has ~~380~~ 1,560+ posts (Voyager doesn’t list all posts) in just over 2 months. They either aren’t reading their articles or it’s a group of shills sharing an account.
It's from Newsweek. If you think the numbers are wrong, you can write them and voice your concerns. Thank you!
So you're endorsing the news source and data as accurate and reliable?
"Various organisations in Nazi Germany required their members to swear oaths to Adolf Hitler by name, rather than to the German state"
I really wish we had a rule about posts that mention polling, but don’t link to the polling. Probably impossible to moderate but it’s really low-quality journalism.
What’s ironic is the article links several other polling sources, but not the one it mentions in the headline.
Websites that have banned this user:
It seems likely the reason each one banned him is the same reason their every post and comment is sitting at < -25. People detest the anti-democrat messaging and the way it’s delivered. It’s undeniable that this user rubs enough people the wrong way that they get a lot of attention for that alone.
During an election year especially, I expect better of any social media website than to just let this shit happen.
Reddit bans everyone though, that's not a good marker. ;)
From a modding perspective, I look at it like this:
"Would this link be allowed if it were anyone OTHER than Monk posting it?"
Yes? It stays. I'm sorry you don't like it, but it's a valid link from a valid source.
.
Oh, we get reports on the articles themselves ALL THE TIME.
.
Yeah, I don't really understand the idea that a long history of a certain type of toxic behavior doesn't count for anything. I think it should.
I'm starting to notice a trend with your posts.
ha, 
So it looks like they have averaged over 28 downvotes per hour since they joined.
40678/(60*24) = 28.24861111111111111111111111
That's about a downvote every couple of minutes. If they weren't evil it might almost be impressive.
How do you see that? I'm kinda curious about my score now lol
im running an mbin instance over at https://moist.catsweat.com where that is the standard hover-view for users
Aw I can't see it i get 404 not found when I click on that.
I'm gonna guess that it's mostly positive because I'm not a Trump supporter like monk.
I'm not voting for Trump though. Thank you!
You effectively are, though.
yeah, he is a paid asset
Nah, probably does it for free due to his (very poorly concealed) ideology.
And is almost certainly a cisgender, heterosexual male, and my bet is that they're actually Mormon.
I've never concealed my ideology.
Thanks for sticking up for me!
And I'm a Mormon Satanist, as I've said in my username and profile. So you're partially correct.
Thank you!
There's no such thing, and you are not a satanist. I grew up in Utah, and the way you act (with the fake niceness, supporting the right wing by voting third party, and not listening to those outside of your community) comes off as 100% Mormon, and nothing else.
Your next line: "You don't get to tell me what I believe"
Mormon Satanist
Yes and I'm a gay-straight.
Wouldn't that just be bisexual then 😂
Nonono, see that would make sense. What we must do is claim to be things that don't actually make sense but are awkward for people to criticize. That way you get to boldly admit to being a fraud in the open, but no one can call you on it. It's fucking brilliant.
How much do you think I get paid!?
Not enough to be believable, apparently.
Made me think of this user for some reason.

Nailed it.
