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.

And I'm being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don't understand it. Can someone please "steelman" that argument for me?

It's not Gaza. It's that the Dems are a party of the riches. They don't represent the poorer anymore. When you have this political shift, you open the doors of the far right.

And trump represents the poor better???

Third parties represent the poor better

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

In no way does trump represent the poor. He hates the poor.

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why the fuck do you ask anything if you're gonna fire out the canned phrase regardless of the answer

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not surprised you misinterpreted my comment, I'm surprised people upvoted your misinterpretation. I never said Trump was third party

[–] Slayan@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I guess so, they voted for him.

Where did I pretend this? Both are for the riches, but, the far right uses populism as a trap.

The thing is that they need a new narrative and stop being neolibs if they want to win. Playing the game of the enemy doesn't, people will choose the original.

This is framing only billionaires can buy. The problem is less this is the reality and more that the billionaires who own like 90% of the media can make people believe (including democrats like harris, because her immigration policy was not a product of donors) that there is something to this.

Democrats had some solid policies like paid family leave on the table and I just don't think the messaging made its way to the people that needed to hear it.
