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.

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.

Okay let's lay it out.
Did protesting genocide win the election? No
Did defending Israel and attacking peaceful protestors win the election? Also no.
Did protestors fighting for peace stand with Israel in carrying out a genocide? No.
Were those protestors wrong when they said democrats would lose if they didn't stop the genocide? No.
Were those protestors the establishment of the Democrats? No
Did establishment democrats stand with Palestinians against genocide? No.
Did they stand with the side committing genocide? YES
Did they lose? Yes.
Idk what kind of own you think this is. Its not like the dems lost by opposing genocide, actually they lost enabling it. If only someone had warned them
Sooo… you’re admitting that your protest was a complete failure and that none of you get to say “we told to this would happen!” anymore, as the election was not a result of your lack of action or help… even though some 90 million people didn’t vote.
Even though it’s safe to say, as a result of that failure- a portion of those 90 million people that didn’t vote as a result of your grassroots protest campaign- a portion large enough that might have made the difference had they voted-
Effectively helped trump win..
Congratulations. Instead of the small and ineffective group helping the larger group win- which would have been a lot more efficient and productive, you all instead opted for the seemingly impossible and destined-to-fail task of demanding the larger group fall in line behind the small and ineffective group.
Lastly- My purpose in this discussion was not to change your mind as that is clearly evident in the fact that If trump wasn’t enough for people like to be encouraged to do the right thing- nothing is. But there’s hope that there might be someone that’ll come across this and learn from it so that if and or when we see ourselves in a similar situation- they don’t listen to people like you.
Send me a link to your discord where you post your Ws, terminal main character syndrome
I rest my case.
