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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

I do love that most of you all are pretty left leaning. Thanks.

Most of reality is. Conservatives hate the fact that they are in the extreme minority.

Remember that time when Biden thought he was debating against Abraham Lincoln in the televised debates?

Both Biden and Trump are borderline senile fossils that shouldn't be trusted with the Western economy and nearly half of the planet's nuclear weapons stockpile. Either candidate poses a very legitimate argument for maximum age limits to be imposed on future presidential candidates.

This isn't out of any dislike towards the elderly. People's mental facilities tend to decline substantially when they get to that age and that proves detrimental when making economic and political decisions. We saw the same thing with Ronald Reagan in the later years of his tenure.

When it's a two-horse race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, society loses.

You cannot be this stupid.

I genuinely refuse to accept that you honestly believe what you say here
