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.

Why is Biden making it easier for Trump to get reelected?
cuz at nearly 90 and held together by cutting edge miracle drugs, he's probably at least a little out of touch, and has no way of understanding how big the blunder is he's making, and it's far worse than Hilary's decision to simply not campaign at all until it was too late.
Because the democratic party should never have chased him in the first place, he said he didn't want to and he meant it. But they couldn't embrace new ideas and nobody can put a good face on the old ideas any more so they frankensteined up the monstrosity and affront to nature, man, and democracy we now see before us, and we coulda had Bernie Sanders, who would have risen to the occassion in stellar form and changed the course of history. Good job, DNC! Great system you've got down there, well and competently managed, to boot. /wrist
But Trump is going to Hitlertown in a honky carriage, and if that happens EVERYBODY is probably fucked, so make the right decision, would you, please?
Biden is doing genocide. We're already in Hitlertown.
This November is a choice between polite Hitler and rude Hitler. If you vote for this, the Democratic Party is going to learn one lesson: they can kill as many children as they want and not lose a single vote i.e. "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters." If Blue MAGA wins, they will put me in a camp and you will vote for it because the other party would be 'worse.'
Idk man, Trump's got some wild plans for Hitlertown.
I know you were speaking in hyperbole, but it sounds like he'd actually be gunning to actually put Palestine supporters in camps.
I am not speaking in hyperbole!
Biden is already cracking down on peaceful protesters who support Palestinians, it isn't much of a stretch to start going after people more broadly. Biden has already "put every single university and college president on notice,” and Republican congressional members are doing McCarthyist witch hunts.
If you actually pay attention, the stuff Trump says he's going to do is already happening.
By the time we get to the election it's already going to be much worse than it's already gotten, and you will vote for it.
Can you link some sources as examples?
Examples of the hundreds of people being rounded up at dozens of pro-Palestine protests? I suppose Biden has plausible deniability here since he's not sending in National Guard, but these are cities controlled by Democrats in states controlled by Democrats at schools predominantly supporting Democrats. With as heavily armed our cops are in this fascist country they don't need National Guard to crack down anymore.
.
He could choose to do what his supporters want him to do, but he won't. A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel's actions in Gaza. A majority of US voters want a permanent ceasefire. The numbers are even more stark among his own base. There's no constituency for this genocide unless he's trying to win over Trump's base.
.
I just posted polls that clearly show the opposite.
If he lets Israel drag us into WW3 he will certainly lose in a landslide. If he does what Reagan did and force Israel to back down, he'll maybe lose some support from hardcore Zionists (who are mostly Republicans anyway) but he'll gain back a lot more from the majority of Americans that oppose this genocide.
People like me.
I'm not voting for genocide and you have no one to blame for that but Biden. Deal with it.
Yes and
Not sure I'm going to take these people on their word.
For Netanyahu there's little difference between Biden and Trump.
.
Netanyahu wants Biden or Nikki Haley. Here's clear evidence of whom israel prefers.
Sorry, the website doesn't make it clear to me, what are these numbers indicating they're a recipient for? Are these direct donations from Israel?
This is Pro-Israel Recipients. So donations from lobbies like AIPAC and other groups that bribe politicians into supporting israel.
.
Jews are not Zionists. Much of the Jewish community does not support the existence of israel whatsoever.
The Zionists that do support israel bribe off both Democrats and Republicans. But they have hit the jackpot with Genocide Joe. There has never been an American president more willing to throw away his entire election in order to bow down for israel.
If Zionists truly were trying to get Trump elected over Biden then there's no reason for Biden to keep supporting this Genocide. And you would have to question Bidens sanity instead of his morals.
You could link to resources on Jewish opposition to Zionism.
The whole article has a fantastic background. Basically, Zionism was considered sinful!
