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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


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. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


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.

You're right, it was definitely a mistake. No one will vote for Biden after this.

[–] Zomg@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Well now I'm going to, jk.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, just like no one will vote for Tony Hinchcliffe, either.

But if Bad Bunny is any indication, a lot of Puerto Ricans off the island and in the States won't vote for Trump because of Tony Hinchcliffe.

Listen, I can't put numbers to it but the democrats have concession after concession trying to win over the MAGA undecided. Week before the election having an acting president put them down when Trump is already drowning is nonseniscal. This is an exact example why I can't stand Biden. He trips over his own dick when there is absolutely no reason to.

They don't have to win over "MAGA undecided," whatever that means.

They just have to convince people who weren't planning on voting to vote.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's what all the focus groups are about. It's exactly who the campaign is targeting. If they just wanted turnout they would make headway on the Genocide in Gaza.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because people who hold focus groups can predict that a MAGA comedian is going to call Puerto Rico a trash island at Trump's big rally a few days before election day?

How can they do that?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I'm saying this campaign has been about courting the MAGA leaning conservative.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure presidential campaigns are about courting everyone you can possibly court that even has a slim chance of voting for you.

Or what's the point?
