No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

center right is as far as america goes, and its the most conservative western country. Besides the DNC prevents any viable progressive from running ever.

they only allow AOC, AND BERNIE in congress solely to take attention off from themselves. like how schumer had a slew of dems to take the fall for ending the shutdown, in order to shield the other dems from being primaried.

more or less both parties make back-door deals with each other not privy to the voters.

at the time of bernie and obama, yea it was possible, as soon as trump got elected, it went out the window. as the DNC had not come up with a candidate as good as bernie or OBAMA since, just milquetoast AIPAC supporting candidates.

Younger people can still be terrible politicians

[–] JustAnotherPodunk@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Good point. Look at JD Vance!

We had FDR once 😭

If america can ever return to a normal parliamentary democracy instead of only giving it's people the choice between two parties, maybe

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

We might be able to get a progressive to run as an independent in the general. If they try to go through the democratic party they will be backstabbed, while also inheriting all the DNC's baggage and idiocy.

Firstly, pray America has a future. You are currently becoming dumbfuckistan.

Progressive Americans have to defeat the mini-boss (DNC) before they can on the main-boss (GOP).

There's a chance the GOP can crack open for a Progressive popout but the MTGs and such already got there years ago so I wager thats about at 0% odds now.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

DNC and GOP often collude together, so basically 2 main bossess. given how they reacted with Zohrans election. and they make alot of backdoor deals behind the doors, where they both benefit, like with the tax cuts, MIC support, israeli funding. thats what they dont want voters of both sides to investigate, hence the culture war bs.

It's about to be do-or-die I feel..

Yes.

But we will probably watch them die on tv.

But it's possible.

[–] UndergroundParking@lemmy.cafe 1 points 5 days ago

Nothing is impossible. Might be improbable, but definitely possible!

Once we kill every billionaire, yes. A chance.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

not anytime soon though because the Democrats won't let any of them win

[–] rockandsock@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Yes but it will be after a catastrophe that devastates the economy like another great depression, civil war or world war.
