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.

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.

Hey kids. We gonna stay home or vote 3rd party next time?
You go to vote according to your ideals, I’ll go to vote according to mine
Cool. Your dumb fucking ideals only served to empower fascists.
Welcome to adulthood, where sometimes you have to temper your ideals with reality. Once your mother gets done tying your shoes for you, maybe she can help explain this concept in more detail to you.
Stupid is as stupid does.
For you who loves to complain about how I'm not doing what you want, yes I'll vote 3rd party again.
This
Stupid is as stupid does.
You don’t deserve any sympathy, sorry troll.
Thanks for reminding us that you're a fucking idiot.
I’m not American but I’m also going to do that. Solidarity bro.
Morons of a feather flock together.
Damn buddy you could at least try to educate yourself before throwing stones.

Maybe you should vote 3rd party next time instead of throwing your vote away on some diet-Republican party that keeps getting Donald Trump elected.
Nah bro. I'm not stupid enough to vote 3rd party when a 3rd party candidate stands exactly 0% chance of winning.
In 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast. Confirming that 3rd party candidates stand a snowball's chance in hell of winning.
You'd know that if you weren't stupid.
It boggles my mind that less than a year ago fools like you found out exactly what happens when you vote 3rd party when no 3rd party has worked to become viable and yet your hamster brain is ready to go for it again. Zero lessons learned.
Nah, unlike you I'll be smart and live in reality where the safest bet for our nation is voting for the viable non-fascist party that we can then work to reform once we're sure the fascist party is out of the picture.
P.S. Your link is fucking stupid because none of the fools that voted 3rd party knew whether their choice was going to make the difference or not when they voted. So they're still fucking idiots who just happened to be inconsequential idiots this time around.
As opposed to the diet-Republican candidates who also have a 0% chance at winning as demonstrated by Donald Trump getting elected a second time and the Republicans controlling every branch of government? Sound logic there.
That's because people like yourself decided to throw their votes away voting for the people colluding with Republicans to wipe our democracy out.
It boggles my mind that less than a year ago fools like you found out exactly what happens when you vote Democratic party when no Democratic candidate has worked to become viable and yet your hamster brain is ready to go for it again. Zero lessons learned.
So then you do support third parties? They're the only non-fascist parties we have in this country, but I'm sure a smart guy like yourself knows that. Please describe this scenario where "the fascist party is out of the picture" because I'd love to hear it. It's quite comical to see you write this immediately after talking about how you "live in reality."
It's quite telling when someone, on numerous occasions, has to include in their argument how smart they are and how much of an idiot everyone else is. That's the cornerstone of a well reasoned argument.
