Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Predicable as always. Save one of the most critical policy pushes until the 11th hour so as to make a spectacle of the whole process. This will never make it through the door in time, but even if it does the court cases are undoubtedly being chambered. Instead of tackling this head on after the election, allowing for the court cases to take place under your administration and whatever influence it might have, you're ensuring these battles happen under the oppositions watch. These delays only lengthen and expand the suffering.

"Election Year Push", how this doesn't read to people as Democrats, yet again, bargaining with your life, is beyond me.

Democrats, when their bills are blocked by Republicans: Masterful gambit sirs, if only we had gotten that five dollars from Flakes Bongler we could have won this most important election of our lives!

Republicans, when their bills are blocked by Democrats: (this does not happen)

Democrats still doing their "deliberately lose in dramatic fashion in order to scaremonger voters into giving them more money" shtick I see
