News
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 kept saying he should have been replaced a year ago. Hell I didn't ever want him to be president, I think at this point it's too late to get rid of him and expect anything good. And a black woman being president isn't gonna happen in the u.s.
The Democrats should literally nominate Tom Hanks and he'd win, honestly. Just get a figurehead in there who will win on sheer popularity
I don't know. The rest of the world was shocked when racist ol' U.S. elected Obama (not to say the rest of the world doesn't have racism). I think change really animates you guys. In a sick way, even Trump is a sign of that.
Now I'm not sure Harris is really a "change candidate" (don't know much about her tbh), but anything outside the status quo -- I think -- is what's going to get your non-automatic voters out there.
Looking at the bigger picture (after this election...), it sounds like your DNC is what keeps legitimate progressive/change candidates off the ballot - not that people won't vote for them. But maybe I'm in a bubble.
Merelly if she's not an unwavering supporter of genocidal ethno-Fascists, it will already mean that this election is not a constest between two evil lovers of Fascism.
This is a replay of Hillary Clinton I'm afraid.
Obama was an extremely competent extremely strong black man, he was able to leave the charge and convince the minority communities to rally.
Harris is openly pro police. I don't think these communities will be voting Trump anytime soon but they also might not really feel engaged enough to go vote Harris.
This is the kind of move that makes the moderates stay home. The only thing the left has going for it with this move is the crazier Trump acts the more likely they will be to come out, and he's pretty f****** crazy.
Why contradict yourself?
