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.
Eh, don't believe the polls saying hes in the lead. Everything I've read said that there was significant methodology concerns with that poll and it should never been harped on by the media like it has been.
but the media wants controversy, so they glomp onto bad data because it gives them what they want.. something to drive eyes to them.
The fact that 30% of the U.S. population thinks this dementia suffering racist idiot is their messiah and will save America from downfall should scare the shit out of you.
Even if he doesn't win, there's a non-zero chance there will be violence and attempts AGAIN to overturn the results of the election.
Don't expect a smooth transition of power just bcz you want there to be.
23%. In 2020, it was 74,223,975.
74,223,975 / 330,000,000 ≈ 23%.
So our country could end up being led by only 23% of the population.
I don't think he's going to win the election. That's not gonna stop extremists from acting out.
Not taking that poll serious is how he was elected the first time.
theres a different between not taking the polls seriously, and blindly believing a poll that experts say is severely methodologically flawed.
That crossed my mind to, but the way Republicans are gerrymandering districts and obstructing voting has me really worried.
