Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

"And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be," he said.

Our President understands the grave threat this movement poses, and will do everything in his power to fight for democracy , right after his nap.

You’re gonna get Trump in November, so cheer up buttercup, how could it get any worse? /s

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Well, I was hoping he'd be pushed aside and we'd somehow get a better nominee.

It's the last thing I have to hope for.

Better? Sadly, that’s not gonna change anything. The neo-commies have pushed a lot of the lefties to the “not voting” mentality. Which, as designed, creates a Trump win.

That fella from Florida actually seemed worse

“Presidential Immunity”

I love how lefties are always blamed for dem losses. It couldn’t possibly be the democratic party’s fault at all for anything.

[–] 2484345508@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A lefty isn’t a lefty if they are willing to let it slide right because they’re sad their options are poor this year.

That’s called an accelerationist. It’s what happens when far left or far right people give up trying to change things in a traditional way, and focus on pushing society to the brink.

Lemmy (and to an extent all social media) is a breeding ground for accelerationist thinking. Most of the comments here are focused on leftist gategeeking in order to persuade them to think in that way.

I don’t see how lefties are sliding right at all.

The only job of the Democratic Party is to get votes, if they are not courting votes from demographics they need, that is 100% the party’s fault and no one else’s. The options being “poor this year” is a massive Democratic Party failing.

If the election this year is as dire as dems are claiming, why aren’t they doing a better job?

[–] 2484345508@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago

I didn’t say THEY are sliding right. I said IT. Meaning the government.

[–] nomous@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If you ever really thought that was an option you're far more optimistic than I.
