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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

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.

You see, it's only a free and legitimate election when they win. If they lose, then it has to be fraud.

They'll solve that problem going forth by not bothering with worrying about the free or legitimate parts at all.

Has anyone tried the trickle up method?!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Better known as "a rising tide lifts all boats" or the "we all do better when we ALL do better" approach, its main distinction from trickle down is that it 100% works. Especially to improve lopsided economies/societies like the US one.

"If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy."

I recently watched History Civalis's video on the July revolution. The ultra conservatives set up a legislature where they would win 60 percent of the seats with 20 percent of the votes. They didn't get to 50.

First amendment freedom! (unless we find it distasteful)

NC is so fucked. Everything that is happening is a blatant power grab by the GOP. Nothing about politics, just control.

Because they can't win the governorship

I’m not sure they could have run a worse candidate.
