YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

WYSK: There funded by dark money PACS, but some good reporting has brought out these names: David Koch, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Mark Cuban, Harlan Crow, and Michael Bloomberg. Some of there members are most famous for stopping big bills. Joe Leiberman, for example, single handedly stopped the single payer portion of the ACA. Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsen Simena kept the John Lewis voting rights act from passing, and famously kept the senate from repealing the filibuster.

If I was the the maga or republicans right now I would fund as many leftist third parties as possible as the best way to secure a trump victory

See also: Forward party, both parties have lots of catchy slogans about working together or moving forward. Yet no platform.

Ew, Crispy Enema's in on this? That's all the information I need to shun this scheme. We HAAAAATE Crispy Enema here in Arizona. Plus she's a terrible dresser. She came into Congress one day to vote down an important bill while wearing this overblown yellow dress with huge shoulder pads. I was like, "You're a senator, not Jor-El from the planet Krypton."

So the rightist want to appeal to the voters to appear like they are not partisan and instead are just bunch of centrist?

When I see a name like No Labels, it tells me they don't want to be upfront about what their real platform is. So they should more straightforwardly be called Hidden Agenda.

Other than the Wikipedia article in this thread, do you have other source material?
I would like to know more.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm surprised about Mark Cuban. It's not obvious but I assume you mean to include frm. Senator Joe Lieberman, and senators Manchin and Senima in the "no labels" party? I don't dispute just want to be explicit.

[–] thallamabond 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Joe Lieberman is a Co-Founder of No Labels, while Manchin and Senima have been pushed as possible candidates.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for the clarification.

The Dems and GOP have similar business models: trade policy and legislation for campaign donations, and deliver tribalism to voters.

That's not to say the two parties are the same - they differ significantly. One party is funded by the truly psychopathic billionaires, and the other party is funded by the usual greedy bastard billionaires. Chalk and cheese, as the British say.
