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
Yeah, because Gavin Newsome is such a conservative
This is the DNC we're talking about. They don't want folk too progressive. They want neoliberal moderates.
What makes you say that? Biden is the "most progressive president of all time."
Case you can't detect it, that's sarcasm.
They dont say that, they say "the most progressive president since FDR"
Which is true.
It's also a damning indictment of America but it is what it is.
Ouch. Hadn't thought of it like that.
🙄 ok whatever
For Cali?
Yeah...
But regardless, the best thing for Cali that she's gone, is they get a fucking choice in who replaces her. The party "picking" someone to hold that seat for the next couple decades and be more Conservative than Cali voters should be an obvious problem.
But for some reason I doubt anyone will be able to explain that to you in a way you understand...
Gavin Newsome has gone on record stating he's going to pick a placeholder to keep the seat warm instead of one of the major contenders for the seat, like Schiff.
And I don't see why you're being a rude asshole. If you want, you can speak like an adult and we can have a decent conversation. But if you insist on being a prick, then I can just start insulting you right back if you prefer.
Because in all likelihood he's going to run for it...
It's not altruism, it's selfishness.
And I'm not even getting into the rest of what he said that made his statement problematic.
But calling someone rude for being sarcastic and then going on a rant with personal insults...
Yeah, you said like a neoliberal bud. Which explains why you don't see any issues with what Newsome is doing
Dude, you heavily implied I was an idiot. All because I came into this not having assumed the conclusion that Gavin Newsome is some evil, power mad puppet master.
You fucking people in the Always Online Lefty Left can be just so goddamn insufferable. It's like you're absolutely committed to ensuring that no one can reasonably talk to someone who has a mildly divergent opinion. God, imagine being such a tool that you can't be comfortable in a political coalition with someone as progressive as Newsome. How the fuck do you clowns propose to win an election when you're running around pretending he and anyone he agrees with is a "neoliberal"
We get the point, you're a neoliberal...
There's nothing else you can do to make it more obvious, and there's no way I'm going to read all those insults you keep typing.
You know what? If you're this mad at neoliberals, maybe we need more of them. At least they know how to say three words without being a prick.
It would be funny how much you all are like trumpets if it wasn't so sad...
Right back at you, fuckface
