Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And the Dems are already saying they're gonna vote for Genocide Joe again....
Hold your nose, close your eyes, turn off your brain and vote everyone!
2 whole sentences to say absolutely nothing.... hope you have better days in the future
They tell you not to support apartheid and genocide. Very difficult thing to understand indeed.
Biden just vetoed the ceasefire.
Do you think Biden is in command of Israel's military?
Of course not. Israel is in charge of America's military.
Also if Biden voted yes then the genocide would have immediately ended.
You already forgot America pulling this same shit at the beginning of the genocide, and then a new resolution being introduced WITH condemnation for Hamas and America still vetoed it?

America would still vote no if the bill was changed to condemn Hamas. Just quit your hypocrisy this same bullshit isn't gonna work twice.
Because the UN realized this was just for show and it isn't worth including and they would have to condemn israel too if they condemned Hamas.
America is going to veto it anyways that's the point. Trying to suck up to America is pointless.
hOlD yOuR nOsE just stfu lol
What's this SpongeBob text supposed to mean
"At least he's not trump" is their only response and democrats worked hard to promote fascists like him to make sure that was the only response they'll ever need.
When it's a binary choice like that, then there's only one option.
Almost like a two party political system is intrinsically limited to a “lesser of two evils” situation every single fucking time. Whacky.
Well, like it or not, that's the system we have right now, and so long as it is, by the time the main election comes around, the only options are a) violent overthrow, b) abstain from voting, or c) vote for the least bad option presented.
I don't think we're quite to the point yet where violent overthrow is necessary or justified.
Abstaining just means you accept whatever the outcome is, and thus have no leg to stand on when you don't like the outcome.
In my mind that leaves option c as the only valid option, with the added requirement of working in between elections towards pushing for changes in the voting system.
I don't pretend to be a fan of Biden. But despite his shortcomings, he's still a damn sight better than Trump or RFK Jr. And nobody else running has a snowball's chance in hell, and most of them are crackpots anyway. So until such a time as we have better options, I will continue to vote for the least bad option.
