Welcome to the News community!

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.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. 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. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I'm voting for Biden. Not happily, not even simply neutral on the matter. I hate that I have to vote for Biden.

If AOC ran, I would not be even a little reluctant to vote for her. She reminds me of Bernie.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 141 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I’m voting for the Biden administration. It’s more than just him. We need them all.

[–] makyo@lemmy.world 56 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And the possible seats on SCOTUS

[–] kaffiene@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You know I think that's the absolutely best reason to vote

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

I’m voting the same way but more because we need to not have the other administration, we need much more that the current admin but we also do not have the luxury of being picky

[–] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

AOC is actually not old enough to be president. Ironic given how old the candidates are...I agree, Biden has my vote

[–] noevidenz 59 points 2 years ago (1 children)

AOC is currently 34 and her birthday is in October, so she will actually be old enough to be president by the time of the election.

[–] finestnothing@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah, but you know people will throw out misinformation saying she can't actually become president because she's 34 and some people will believe them and stick with Biden or someone else who we know for damn sure is over 35 and it'll just split the vote unless Biden (and any other big names on the left) drop out

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

Biden is close to senile, and I'm assuming he'll pass away within the next 4 years. Honestly, I hope he'll win the elections and then peacefully passes away. Nothing against him personally, he seems like a nice guy but what the US (and by extension, the world, thanks for that) needs is not a narcissistic psychopath, and also not a senile grandfather for president.

[–] lengau@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago

This is her first election where she's eligible to run for president. I wouldn't be surprised to see her run in 2028

If AOC ran, I would not be even a little reluctant to vote for her. She reminds me of Bernie.

same here

i'm struggling to get myself to vote for biden; i vacillate on it every day and i wish my history and future of enduring biden et al.'s policies wasn't clouding my decision.
