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 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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


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.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


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.


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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


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.

Well I'm pretty glad they tried something like the IRA, chips, and infrastructure.

Where in your comments did you assign any blame to anyone else but here?

I'm explicitly talking about campaigning, not policy. Unfortunately, campaigning matters as much as, or more than, policy, when it comes to winning elections.

Abstainers (and, for the record, FUCK them for not caring about literal fascism)

This election was fucked from top to bottom, and ultimately the responsibility lays with the American people for voting in fascism.

Didn't realize I had to itemize my criticisms any time I wanted to bitch.

Ah, so including the comment I already noted, you blamed abstainers in another conversation. Sorry I was only paying attention to our discussion, in which you did not blame anyone but Dems until the comment I already noted.

If you're claiming to not put all the blame on Dems I look for evidence of it, and in our conversation I found that was substantially lacking except for the comment in which you claimed it. The previous comments in our conversation did not outline your view in that regard.

You know, messaging and all...

I'm also not running a nationwide campaign in which the opinions of the electorate are key to my survival. I made a comment to bitch about one of the specific parties responsible for this loss under an article about said party trying to burnish its credentials at a point when it no longer matters.

Fuck's sake.

Messaging sounds difficult.
