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.

Yep, the DNC is doing turbo genocide.
And the other road goes towards mega-turbo-genocide, boots on the ground and bombing iran (again) just for good measure.
Your choice.
We already said I don't want Trump, so therefore the DNC needs to better appeal to their voterbase and cease the genocide, and swap Biden out. If they don't, Trump will win, and you will have helped them by continuing to push for Democrat-genocide.
"we don't want Trump, but if you don't do xyz I will stay at home/camping against you/bitch and moan and help him win"
"If you say that the DNC should stop committing genocide so more people vote for them, I will whine and complain, then support the genocide."
Yes, this is accurate. The only two options as of July 2024 are genocide or mega-turbo-genocide.
I'd like to have peace on earth, but that's not on the ballot. America is not ready to give up genocide cold turkey. Complaining about the genocide makes the mega-turbo-genocide more likely, which I don't want.
Shit situation, but I choose pragmatism.
Nope, the DNC can be pressured to stop, or Third Parties.
Sure is on the ballot for third party. America is ready to give up genocide, the DNC and GOP are not, because their donors want it. Pretending that Trump getting elected would drastically change Israel's direction is vibes-based and not materially consistent, he would continue Biden's genocide. You seem to want genocide, because you don't want to protest.
You don't, you're picking the path that has the least chance of winning, the DNC maintaining their genocide will result in Trump winning, guaranteed, regardless of you or I. You're batting both for Genocide and a DNC loss to Trump.
I can protest because in my country I have like 5 parties with chances of participating in some form of coalition government.
If I had the choice of regular genocide or genocide ultra, I sure would try to avoid the genocide ultra. Which voting for a third party absolutely does not do.
Also, if you think the dnc can be pressured to stop as of today, I have a bridge I would like to sell you.
Third Parties have already stated they are anti-genocide.
They can be, they realize they are cooked if they don't swap out Biden and go against genocide. Internal leaks confirm that they are planning on a Trump presidency being the most likely outcome already.
Lol, third parties again. In an electoral college system.
