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.

MODERATORS
There's more of that dehumanization, "you disagree with me so you're mentally ill." More of that "only WE can save the country." Instead of making demands and throwing personal insults (also pretty faschie of you,) why don't you explain why dems SHOULDN'T work with leftists if leftists supposedly cost them every election they lose?
You can vote Biden to SaVe ThE wOrLd, but you ignore the long game for the now. Saving marginalized groups in the short term does NOT change that we're still moving further right towards fascism with either party. You're not saving anybody if you don't change the system that is pushing for those groups to be further marginalized. You're calling the bandaid the cure and fighting people who want a cure harder than you ever fought the people hurting those groups. Next time, dems will be three steps closer than they are now, but "vote blue no matter who!" time after, three more steps closer, but "blue no matter who!"
Each go around more and more extreme rhetoric and policy is normalized partially due to dems refusal to hold their feet to the fire. We're only a few elections away from the dems throwing trans people under the bus too to "court moderates." Then they'll keep creeping down the list same as Republicans, because any force to move them in any different direction is artificially snuffed.
You obviously think you're a hero voting dem, but all you're doing is voting for the end of democracy in 10 years instead of 5, so I'll see you on the other side brosef.
Okay, so you don't have an alternative solution, and both sides same. Got it. None of your thoughts or feelings matter, if there are no future elections.
And about that solution? You done whining snowflake?
