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.

No I don't, because he obviously is.
It's just neither of them are good enough to be president.
Like,you know there's not really a valid reason to run unpopular neoliberals just because trump is in office right?
We could just runnwhat Dems historically do very very well with:
A young charismatic person running a progressive campaign.
There is literally no reason to be running someone the majority of registered Dem voters don't want to be president, just because they don't want the Republican.
How does that system make any logical sense?
How will shit ever improve?
Ok, then tell me who that candidate is who can win instead of Biden.
I'm waiting.
I am not super fond of Biden, and wouldn't mind seeing him replaced. But my top priority is harm reduction, and switching to a candidate who can't beat Trump would send USA into turmoil
If your top priority was harem reduction you wouldnt be supporting the one causing the most harm right now. And not just Palestinians, us included
Are you saying Biden personally is causing the most harm, and that Trump wouldn't cause more? Or do you think it's irrelevant that acting as you suggest would make things worse?
I don't disagree he's handled it bad, but your options are between pressuring him to do better or Trump wrecking everything he gets his hands on
If you haven't realized it, there is no 'pressuring Biden' I'm not saying that Trump would cause more harm or Biden is causing more harm. Harm is harm. People are dying. People are being starved. It doesn't matter who is doing it, right now the greater evil is Biden. He is the one actively engaging in killing and starvation of people. If people would move beyond the bullshit concept of lesser evil and simply accept no evil, then we might be able to progress as a country.
If you haven't noticed both of them work in tandem to benefit the wealthy against the needs of the working class
Which world do you live in
Sounds like BS bothsidesisms
There are no both sides being used they are on the same side. Us vs Them
Elizabeth Warren for one
Pretry much any Dem from the house or Senate too.
Is Warren running?
Something tells me that if Warren was the option you'd still have a litany of complaints about why you weren't going to vote for her
I didn't catch what you said. Is Elizabeth Warren running for president?
