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.

Oh no, it’s still there. It will be trotted out the next time progressives get angry at another corporate candidate.
I hope so because we absolutely cannot afford to lose any more ground to the christofascist dictatorship.
There’s no question that we should always vote against the most right wing candidate. No reasonable person disagrees with this.
Then explain to me why the 2 other "liberal" candidates in NYC have refused to drop out and are threatening to split the democratic vote and allow a Republican to win the mayor's office.
Idgaf what the third party candidates are doing, tbh. Same shit with the greens every election.
The two liberal candidates I am referring to are Mario Cuomo who lost the Democratic primary to Mamdani and Eric Adams the current mayor who is a registered Democrat.
Oh I understand your confusion. You see, Mamdani won the DNC primary election earning the party's spot on the ballot.
Cuomo is third party. If Adams is running he is also third party.
The ONLY democrat mayoral candidate is Mamdani.
And yet all of the major players in the democratic party refuse to endorse or acknowledge Mamdani and a few have even sided with those other candidates.
This is my point.
Why are you people all incapable of using people's names? All the major players I care about have already endorsed Mamdani, as if it made any difference when he's already the candidate and is beating all other candidates combined.
Jeffries needs to be made an electoral example of for being so out of touch with voters.
The exceptions make the rule, always have.
