Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
After any election is over they start politicking for their next win. Very little real work gets done for the citizenry in the political sphere.
This is why I have not made a political run. Being a good representative is a job I think I could excel at, but I can't stand the obligatory glad handing and angling to be elected first though.
Money does not win elections as much as they say, you are the one we need in politics. You need to run out of civic duty, if you can be popular enough to win, and I believe you can.
Meaning that we should literally prohibit it. No campaigning at all.
It might make more sense to just not elect judges.
