This is the laziest fucking bullshit excuse every time. Crying up a storm when a fucking literal fascist is on the ticket with an understanding that the guardrails are basically fucking gone and going "Yea, but they didn't give me a reason to go"

Guess what buttercup? You want "action now!" I was trying to drum up action when all that was needed was standing in line for maybe a couple hours and putting your vote in and half these leftists going "We gotta do something!" couldn't be faffed to show up at that line in the sand.

And before "But Biden" or "But Harris", my beating the drum to vote is for your local shit every day where you have FAR MORE control than the DNC but statistics show you probably weren't even aware when these were.

So no... I'm not rallying to y'alls cries because you've proven you'll be fair weather allies at best and probably stay home expecting someone else to save your asses. And when the fire gets tough, those that I know who stayed home can't expect me to lift a finger to help them either because I'll be busy helping those that at least could do the bare fucking minimum to try to course correct instead of just acting smug.

Our society is about to get what it deserves. I feel bad for the 1/3 that did show up and tried. The rest can go to hell for all I care.

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
