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.

yup...can run the numbers, he won the popular vote. the "palestine or nothing" people are a drop in the bucket
the overwhelming majority of the country doesn't have the privilege of caring about people outside their immediate bubble...they're too busy living paycheck to paycheck
don't run on "nothing will fundamentally change" if you want americans to vote for you, simple as. maybe also don't run fucking republicans endorsements during the DNC...
i'm honestly not sure what's worse, if establishment dems are largely just controlled opposition or if they're really just this incompetent
100%. “Everything’s fine, stop complaining” wasn’t a good platform in 2016. Or 2020. Or 2024.
Donald walked through a door that liberal democrats opened.
TWICE.
Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 and 2020 and still was below 50% in 2024 AND his policies never got support from a majority ever when presented without a name.
There has never been a majority who has liked anything he had to offer.
This was a propaganda war from racist wealthy assholes who bought out a ton of the companies controlling the media landscape. They exploited bullshit election rules and lied and bribed and extorted to suppress resistance, all just so they could be assholes in public without being called in it.
So he’s incredibly unpopular.
And he’s beat democrats two out of the last thee tries.
Do. The. Math.
they wanted to use the threat of fascism to earn free votes, even though they tried that in virginia in 2021 and it failed miserably.
a lot of it comes down to that they're more convinced by their consultants what works than by the evidence of what works. and their consultants all come from a class of people who make more money the closer an election is to 50/50
