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.

What goalposts?
America has a capitalist monoparty that only pretends to be two parties so as to maintain the illusion of choice.
Got it. Bernie Sanders is an ultra-capitalist far-right Republican. Thanks for letting me know.
There's a reason why the Democrat superdelegates refused to nominate the most popular American politician in 2015.
What does that have to do with anything? He's a member of the right-wing monoparty, isn't he? You can't be an independent if there are no parties to be independent from.
Why is Bernie Sanders such an ultra-capitalist far-right Republican? I would like an explanation for this because I didn't realize he was, but your own logic says he is.
It disproves your BS.
He was an independent, switching his allegiance to the monoparty didn't help him win any federal elections.
You seem to have very suddenly switched from accepting the reality of the American monoparty to suggesting that no parties exist at all. Are you sure you're arguing in good faith?
He isn't, that's why he's not president right now.
You've never discussed my logic, you jumped straight from "American political parties only pretend to be separate entities" to "America's most famous center-left social democrat is actually a right-wing ultraconservative" as if making the latter claim would disprove the former.
What exactly do you think 'mono' means?
Inseperability. Codependence. A lack of notable distinction.
Y'know, like how our "two" major parties are the opposite faces of the same capitalist coin.
Oh I see, Bernie Sanders was only an ultra-capitalist far-right Republican during the years he was in the Democratic Party, like when he ran for president.
Boy, we sure dodged a bullet there.
