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
"Have the day you voted for", leopards etc.
In this instance, they voted for paid sick leave. Yeah, these people should have the day they voted for.
They also elected a legislature and governor that stabbed them in the back.
Absolutely.
Here, you dropped this: "predictably"
Uhh, that's not all they voted for.
But the republicans are in power and have campaigned for years on a clear platform to support capitalists and not the working class.
I understood 2 of those phrases but the rest sounds like commie bullshit.
If only somebody could have seen this coming and warned them!
oh silly people, they think they can have thier slice of the pie when they vote for the gop that would do something like this. they cant have both, its either one or the other with republicans.
Fox News is a helluva drug
Opinion poll numbers aren't the same as election votes
It wasn’t an opinion poll, it was a ballot initiative that voters voted on in an election. Then their representatives that they also voted for turned around and repealed it.

Happened in Nebraska too. Voters passed legal weed but the GOP isn't going to follow through and is actually trying to outlaw the farm bill shit in the process.
There's no reason for them to actually legislate or govern since they'll still get voted in, all they need is the R and they're set. World's easiest job.
Should be illegal. Not like it would stop them but still.
It wasn't an opinion poll, it was a referendum vote that should have had binding legal effect but the Republican lawmakers and judges in the state made up a few bullshit legal loopholes and just made it go away
Why are you commenting if you don’t have the 6 seconds to understand the discussion?
That is correct, which is why your comment about it is pointless.
In this dude's defense, no where does it mention him being a Republican or supporting Republican politicians. It does say:
So I don't think this is a leopards eating face scenario.
I don't think it necessarily needs the victim to have voted for them - it's more about the majority supporting the referendum and also the incompatible representatives. The LEPF party were elected and are doing what they do.
