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.

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.

Any allegations that Greene is transparently working as a Russian agent are entirely unsubstantiated.

It's basically political fanfiction but imagine if what you say happens but the Democrats also expand the Supreme Court and pass new voting rights laws. They could guarantee Republicans lose and it wouldn't even be unfair.

There's no way they'd expand the court. They don't have the votes in the senate. Voting rights laws maybe but I wouldn't count on it.

This.

As soon as Dems gain control of the house, Joe Manchin and “independent” Sinema will peak their head to block anything and everything in senate. Those two assholes single handedly squandered every opportunity during 2021-22 when Dems had the trifecta.

[–] ashok36 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Manchin is also retiring so you might be able to bribe him into voting for good stuff. Sinema will fuck us over just because though. It's her kink.

Manchin has his post-Senate career ahead of him and he’s not going to throw that away just to help people.

If only people like them were subject to "official presidential duties"
