Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
It's headlines like this one that make me want to start throwing stuff whenever someone makes the argument that the left is undermining the democrats by refusing to be satisfied with whatever crumbs they're throwing us this week. Everyone knows the Republicans suck, so criticizing the one party that still pretends to be accountable to its ostensible constituents for not doing enough to help those constituents should be a reasonable thing to do. The only rub here is that the Democratic leadership does not want to actually help, does not want to be held accountable, and doesn't want to be criticized, and so they've managed to convince their followers that reflecting on what's actually happening to society's most vulnerable is treasonous empowerment of the Republicans, who are the enemy but also reasonable people whom we still need to work with.
Nothing here is new, I'm just updating everyone on my slow slide into incoherence as I continue to gaze into the abyss.
No no, this is a helpful compression
Exactly they teach the democrats that essentially they get a free pass on disregarding everything until its election season and surely this time they will enact those ever diminishing and less radical policies.
