Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

MODERATORS
They'll just replace him with a prettier face and keep doing the same shit. I say he should stay the course and take the entire Democratic Party down with him. Biden is doing more to drive people to the left because they're rightly disgusted with him and the Dems. He can't retire until he's handed himself over to the ICJ to stand trial anyway. That's part of his job as genocidal leader.
Replace him with who?
Dems have been so singularly focused on keeping any body left of Clinton away from power their alternatives are "Joe bidens policies but more hypocritical and from a black women", "Joe bidens policies but more hypocritical and from a gay guy", or "Joe bidens policies but from an insufferable nerd"
Idk they always find some ghoul. Hilldawg would be the funniest, but AOC has tacked rightward enough while maintaining "progressive" cover that they could maybe use her effectively.
AOC is just a young Pelosi at this point. Assuming the USA itself limps along as it is for another 40-50 years and doesn't outright collapse, she'll be around enforcing the status quo.
That would be Joe bidens policies but more hypocritical and from a gay guy
gavin newsom is their only other plausibly-nationally-viable candidate at this point
Gavin newscum? I don't even know how he looks and I'm already falling asleep.
They'll probably try AOC or anyone else from "the squad"
Picture a Mitt Romney clone that they didn't leave in the vat long enough.
lmao there's no way
They have no one else. Literally they need the youth vote.
they would choose losing 100/100 times before nominating someone to left of nixon
Here's the thing: they'll still lose
Who's the nerd?
Beto although his platform of explicitly telling Texans that yes, he is coming for their guns, seems to have been a lack of political sense too great for even the DNC.
Maybe his political instincts were better in his youth, when he was a member of the hacking group Cult of the Dead Cow under the handle "Psychedelic Warlord".
Generally yeah, but Joe Biden is the high watermark for Democratic support of the Israeli regime. Even his own fucking VP is leaking basically "oh oh I never wanted this, this is Biden's war" because she desperately wants to be the president and knows the way the winds have already turned. There is no chance for a pro-genocide 2028 candidate.
