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
Yeah, Bill was pretty neo-liberal. That's still the center of our electorate, though, that was politicians giving our people what they wanted. Us wanting the wrong things is an education problem, not a corruption problem. Anti-smart-people sentiments are unfortunately very strong in our country, though, as our current climate demonstrates very sadly, though attitudes have been changing. Then Obama's bailouts of the banks were unfortunately necessary at the time, as bank failures are a good way to worsen an economic crisis. Hilary taking money from financiers isn't really the coup the media makes it out to be, either, from a neo-liberals perspective such people are very important. Regardless, I like to think we have learned from these economic mistakes.
Regarding Israel, let's not pretend the US hasn't saved some Gazan lives. 2 million people live there, Netanyahu wants them gone, yet most are still alive. How did that happen?
Again, details are important. We could point to the Build Back Better plan that Biden pushed, almost passed, but wasn't quite able to. Look at who voted for it. You seem to want to think in "groups" of people, you should cut that out. People are individuals, responsible for their own decisions. We need to pay attention to all of them, regardless of how challenging that becomes. Propagandists will not want to do that, though, they will only point you at entire groups of people, demonizing them. This is no good, and is a strong sign you've been propagandized. Simple common sense dictates that a person cannot be judged solely from their group membership.
edit: Additionally, you may note that even in the height of our neo-liberal 90's, not everyone voted to repeal Glass-Steagal. 8 Senators had better sense. Most were dems:
