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 voted for harris. This will not matter to any centrist, since I spoke out against their only policy.

The anti-genocide left was too insignificant to listen to, according to the pro-genocide center. Now they're solely to blame for her loss, according to the pro-genocide center.

It can't be both. Either they're too insignificant to listen to, in which case they're too insignificant to blame, or they're to blame, in which case they're kingmakers and you should have listened to them.

Best thing we can do is to stop blaming and focus on solutions. Holy fuck this is frustrating and tedious.

If centrists were interested in solutions, they wouldn't be blaming the wing of the party that wants them.

The anti-genocide left isn't to blame for the loss.

The faux anti-genocide left who refused to vote for the best option for the people of Palestine on a very shitty election (Kamala) helped Trump with their inaction.

Trump, who by the way, has supported the genocide being hyper exacerbated compared to that of Biden and Kamala.

The Palestinians are objectively worse off now than they were under Biden, and most likely would have been under Kamala.

Then stop blaming them.

the best option

The second worst option. Genocide supporters aren't the best anything. Except to other genocide supporters.

The Palestinians are objectively worse off now than they were under Biden, and most likely would have been under Kamala.

Why do you keep trying to convince me to vote how I voted in an election that already happened? Oh right, you never gave a shit who won, you just want unquestioning support for the genocide supporter you want over the genocide supporter you were willing to accept as long as no one had the opportunity to vote for a candidate who doesn't support genocide.

Dead is dead. There is no exacerbated. Harris clutching her pearls instead of planning a resort would make absolutely zero difference.
