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.

This is what I don't understand. Do people not factor the consequences of giving the orange buffoon power again and the impact that choice has on their own country, economy and system of government, nevermind what is happening half a world away?

People are tired of falling in line for a party that doesn't support them.

It's an easy fix, just start nominating progressive candidates.

The only issue is that upper middle class white folks will have to pay more in taxes, so they'd rather have Trump.

It's all about the money, and money brings out the worst in people.

I was saying to my older friends that AOC should really be running for president because in a lot of ways she brings with her Bernie ideologies, my friend told me that Democrats need to run a moderate candidate. She is a great progressive who fights bullies, instead of making backroom deals with them. I really hope Mamdani wins in New York and will signal that people really want progressives in office. AOC would be an amazing president because she actually puts the work into listening to people and acting on it.

I had a super progressive friend throw her vote away because of a war happening across the globe that's been going on for thousands of years. Kamala supported Israel and on top of that, "she's a cop."

Probably expected the gaza war to end the first day trump was in office too...

But no, progressives aren't necessarily the entire answer either, as other forum members hope. Nothing against AOC or Bernie (I think they're great). Vote by policy and solutions, not personality or affiliation.

I think a lot of people in this world enjoy watching the suffering of others. I’ve noticed quite a number of people who claim to be lefties on here who seem to be perfectly fine with people suffering because they are suffering themselves.

They are the kind of people who would get angry and abstain from voting if they did not qualify for student loan forgiveness. They are not OK with one group of people having a win unless they are in that group of people.

The same group of people who get angry at your lifestyle because it interferes with the rules their religion forces them to adhere to? The religion they chose to follow? Those people and people who think like them?

Mostly the fake commies on here.
