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
Polls don't mean shit. Repulicans will always vote R, or not vote, but they will never cross the boundary to vote for "DEMONrats". The propaganda is so thoroughly in their core.
Doesn't matter, Republican base is less than 50%. They can't win any election without independent voters.
In 2024, independent voters were 34% of the electorate. 46% of independents voted for Trump, 49% for Harris
Trump is polling -40% with independent voters right now
This is the truth. The Indies choose the president, no matter what the parties claim, and the Indies have become VERY hostile to MAGA.
This Fall, the Dems and the Indies are going to vote HARD, and the MAGAs are going to stay home. In addition, several demographic groups that leaned Trump last time, are leaning Democrat today. Trump is going to try all sorts of election manipulations but none of it will work because we are totally on to his bullshit, and we've already had enough. In six more months we'll have even less tolerance for his nonsense, and in two more years, we will have had more than enough of MAGA altogether. It's likely they'll even be tired of the mess they've created, and hoping the Dems will save them from themselves.

Also, polling is thoroughly broken, but corporate news props them up.
