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.

In a sane county it'd be 3-6%

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I I mean if you subtract the 20 to 30% that vote Republican no matter what you’re basically there.

[–] 8oow3291d@feddit.dk 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But another 20% will still vote for the next Republican who is not Trump. Even though the systemic Republican incompetence that led Bush II into the Iraq War is exactly the same systemic Republican incompetence that led Trump into Iran War.

MAGA is just conservatism distilled down to its purest form.

[–] Einskjaldi@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And that's based mostly on a rural urban divide, where republicans in rural areas act like an outsider from the city.

[–] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yea. I get that rural and urban areas have different issues and vote for candidates they hope will represent them best.

The issue is that no candidate truly represents their constituents any more because they are funded by corporations whose agendas are directly opposed to both rural and urban citizens.

Politicians campaign on empty promises and fool voters into electing them on false promises and policies and immediately pass laws that favor their financial donors instead.

Sample sizes can fuck anything up, you see if they included me the sheer gravity of my distaste for that man would wreck the scale.

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

Ah, good ol' Righteous Fury Georg.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 28 points 6 days ago (2 children)

But wtf do the polls keep talking about “hits a new low”? It’s been inching for a year now.

That’s still 36% too many. Rapes/bombs children=> what more do you need to know?

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

His opponent was a woman. Of color.

/s if you need it.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 6 points 6 days ago

Stealing taxpayer money? Eh at least a white guy does it. Doesn't do his job and just plays golf? Eh, that's so smart. Being a racist dictator? Good, actually. Raping children? Eh, that's someone's children. Bombing brown people? Good, nice. Gas prices go up? Wait a minute, now he does things that impact me directly? I'm gonna vote for him again, but boy oh boy.

[–] TwilitSky@lemmy.world 34 points 6 days ago (2 children)

He could kill supporters and they'd vote for him harder.

[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 14 points 6 days ago

what do you call the handling of COVID and the “don’t mask up it’s just the flu bro” policy, if not killing his own supporters?

[–] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

He already has

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 37 points 6 days ago

rape children...steal billions...meh.

$5 gas ...IMPEACH!

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

36% are shitheads for supporting a pedo, rapist, felon and murderer.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

mass murder and industrial scale rape of children on epstein island (thats then used as bribery material by foreign powers) is bad, sure.. but we all draw the line at gas over 3.96 a gallon!

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It’s sad there were people who only voted for Trump for their own gains and now because of it their entire country will fall to pieces.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

I'm convinced that ~30-35% of all living beings are complete and utter psychopaths, who are incapable of caring about anything that doesn't affect them on a personal basis. Literally a third of all people going about their lives with no empathy whatsoever. I wonder what the evolutionary purpose for this is...

[–] GarboDog@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Probably those without emotions can take riskier and more damming roles of society and real the benefits while indirectly killing everyone else ask the way up the ladder and reproduce with several failed marriages. It’s like an asshole run and dump rogue like for them and they just love seeing the funny number ($) go up

[–] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

35% of that is Maga. That extra one percent is more troubling. Anyone not already part of the Trump cult should be against this by now

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Wow, a whole 1% lower than the previous ‘new low’ months ago? Amazing.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

... Now correlate the people in that percentage with income levels and tell us something new...!

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I would wager that most of them have very low income and very low levels of education. The mega rich are less than 1% of the population, and use their money to misinform the gullible into voting against their own interests

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 days ago

36% is all the Democrats and that bunch of Republicans that are fine with mass murder, genocide, rape, child rape, extrajudicial actions, work camps, fraud and abuse, and so much more, but draw a line with high gas prices.
