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.

I'm against spending my time advocating for it because I don't think it's a solution to the problems. I'm no more opposed to it than the current system.

But it would let you get the person you actually want to win to have a chance while also preventing the worst party in your eyes from winning.

I would absolutely pick West first and Biden second, third, or whatever depending on the candidates if we had that system, but in the current system I'm not voting for anyone other than the 2 parties that actually have a chance of winning because the only way you'd get that 3rd party to win is if somehow you convinced the entire country to ditch the idea of voting Democrat all at the same time, and even then the 3rd party would be the new Democrats that absofuckinglutley will have corpo scum "invade" and corrupt. They will go where the power is, they have no party.

Ranked choice allows us to see the scum and choose a better candidate, hoping others see the same.

I would not pick biden at all.

Thats perfectly fine, it's your vote! If we ever get a vote for ranked choice just don't sit that one out! That will allow you to vote your conscience and still have a chance :)

you see how I would not like ranked choice, right? I would be compelled to vote for people who I think should not have the position.
