Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Really? Who?
You "genocide joe" folks keep saying there's a better choice, but nobody will give me a name, a website, a campaign address I can send money to, anything. Show the candidate that can literally win in 7 months. Otherwise, you're asking me to put my family at additional risk for the payoff of helping exactly 0 people in Gaza... unless you define helping as Israel "finishing the job."
You want one name?
Elizabeth Warren.
But that's not the only name.
Hell, the major reason for voting Biden is literally that he's not trump, a qualification everyone eligible to run for president shares, except trump.
Do you honestly think 7 months isn't enough time to run a general campaign? Why is the primary not scheduled to end for two more months if that's true?
Seriously, how can you rationalize the primary not being scheduled to end for two more months if that's not enough time for a general campaign?
I'm dying to hear your answer.
I actually voted for Warren in the primaries last cycle. As far as I know, she isn't running this cycle and isn't on the ballot in any states that have already passed the8r registration deadlines.
I know for a fact that 7 months isn't long enough to run a presidential campaign because, again, you have to have filed to run usually a year in advance. Unless you're suggesting that Warren is running the best write-in campaign in American history. I'm happy to help her, but I'm a little worried I haven't heard a word about it from her or any PACs.
So you think if Biden did the right thing and drops out, she wouldn't run?
Before you were saying she couldn't, now you're saying she wouldn't...
So why do you think the DNC only gives 5?
And if they're making such obvious wrong choices and you're so much better at this, why are they still running the only party against trump?
Shouldn't we have people as smart as you running the party if you're so obviously right?
If the bar for running a campaign is "knowing it's hard to win the electoral college if you aren't on the ballot" then yeah, I guess I'm qualified...but being so smart, I know there's quite a bit more to it than that.
I think that campaigns start during or before the primary...you know, when the media starts talking about who's gonna run and what their positions are....then all the commercials start running...that all feels pretty campaigny to me. So I can't really comment on why you think the DNC doesn't let folks campaign before the convention. Feels like that'd make voting in all those primaries a lot harder.
Oh ok, you don't know what other people are saying...
That's why you can't understand.
Hope that helps. Best of luck in your future interactions
I’m not the other person, but that’s obviously not helpful and simply makes you look immature. Either explain where you think someone’s gone wrong or leave out the “hope that helps.” Or don’t, and everyone reading is reminded of that scene from the big Lebowski
Thanks for replying doing the thing you're telling me not to do...
Hope that helps!
And yet I participate in society, how curious.
