News
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.

If he loses the presidential race, the GOP is gonna be in really, really bad shape.
Trump could, if we are lucky, be the death rattle of the Republican party.
In an ideal world, that could break us out of the two party system. We probably won't get that lucky.
A man can dream…
Pretty sure he's going to lose like every GOP has for decades, it's just if the undemocratic institutions like gerrymandering and the electoral college will allow his votes to be privileged/worth more despite losing the public vote.
If he doesn't lose the rest of us are in far fucking worse shape
Idk. Trump is a symptom, not the illness. Once he's out of the equation, there are plenty of other neonazis to fill the vacuum.
I hope your right though.
A lot of the rightwing rats that have jumped ship have swam to the libertarian party, so maaaaaybe we'll see that grow to replace the GOP. I'd call that a best-case scenario: they're bat-shit crazy, but they at least stand for something other than contrarianism and hatred. The LP would make a more sane competition to the blue team.
I don't see that actually happening though. Cult 45 will just flock to some other dipshit like Desantis, and another election or two down the road we'll be doing the same ol' dance.
Just because Trump may be out of the picture, doesn’t mean the folks who watch Fox suddenly disappear into the ether.
You forgot they hate black people more than anything else though.
They don't hate "all" black people, they have a black friend. See, "not racist."
Need to get rid of the ec and fptp voting to do that.
It won't happen with our two party system. We're stuck with the Republican party until the sun burns out.
