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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

MODERATORS
To them conservatism can never fail. It can only be failed, because you didn't conservative hard enough. There is no introspection, no critical thinking. Only doubling down. Because otherwise all the suffering would have been for naught.
I know you're joking, but at the same time I know you're really not.
Republicans do not believe that they do not make mistakes, they merely believe that admitting a mistake would in itself be a mistake
But they never take it to the next logical step I've noticed. They do dumb things all the time, but then what they don't seem to do is preemptively work out if the thing that they're going to do is dumb or not, and then if it is dumb not do it. It's like they don't have a strategist.
I think it's a problem with the right wing groups in general. They're so completely blinded by self-belief that reality doesn't get a look in.
Look at Trump right now, he cannot possibly think things are going well for him, but there he goes carrying on.
I'm just baffled that his defense team seems to have the strategy of directly antagonizing law enforcement. In no world does,
" go ahead, take me to jail, you're too much of a pussy, I bet you won't do it."
Ever actually play out, it's either amazing 7D chess, or the more realistic option. He legitimately thinks he is invincible and nothing he ever does will have any consequences
