Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Why, what’s in 2028?
Fucking awful candidate.
The takeaway shouldn’t be that Newsom is a popular candidate among Democrats, but that visibly standing up to Trump is a popular strategy.
Exactly. I couldn't care less about Newsom as a person. And if literally any Democrat started fighting back I would support them. It's such an easy strategy to win that I'm absolutely baffled by how cowardly Democratic politicians have been.
AIPAC has a stranglehold on most of the reps. Frankly, I find it fucking disgusting these reps have sold their country out so cheaply and easily. And without any compunction apparently.
There is no organized effort to resist (from a place of power) and this will be our failure. The people currently have no position to mount any effective resistance.
this will be our failure.
It'll be one cause of failure, but certainly not the only one. Nothing is preventing The People™ from creating their own resistance organization from scratch; hell there are likely plenty of preexisting leftist organizations that would gladly get hijacked for such a purpose. The fact that so many people are still unwilling to give up on the Democratic Party or consider effective forms of resistance is a much bigger problem.
Absofuckinglutely.
It just shows that your "democratic politicians" have no answer to the rampaging fascism in your country. They just huddle against the one dude who tries to copy the strongman. That does not work.
Democrat politicians are just representing their base.
Most democrats don't want the disparity in wealth to shrink because they would have less money relative to their peers. It's why they voted against Bernie, twice.
As soon as neo-liberals' wealth is threatened, they get right in bed with conservatives.
Neither party represents workers, which is why it's stupid for millions of workers to get up in arms defending them. It's why the average person is a useful idiot.

it is THREE YEARS before the election. i am BEGGING liberals to not shoot themselves in the foot this early and lock in on a candidate who will not win and has virtually no support from leftists. pick literally anyone goddamn else lol.
pick anyone else
Schumer it is then
Newsom is a wet sack of political ambitions with no stance or principles.
“We’re about to put a memecoin out. And you know what? Donald Trump, we’ll see how well your coin does versus our coin,” Newsom said.
Seriously, what the fuck??? Memecoins are scams through and through. You don't release a competing scam to troll Trump. It's asinine.
All of this is a PR team backing him up anyways. He's had some short term success with a few hits that landed with milquetoast liberals, but he can't sustain that "momentum" because none of it is genuine. That fake, toothy smile makes my skin crawl. The mask will slip, but even with all that said, I'm still afraid it'll be sufficient to fool enough of the people. I hate it.
Someone kill me.
