News
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.

If we are going to lose anyways it’s time to make a third party. Call it the Progressive Party and continue to lose until democrats give up. These people literally only care about lining their pockets.
Yeah that seems to be a popular idea but it never gets anywhere after that.
My thought was, since the DNC organization exists and anyone can participate, we should y'know - take it over. Basically. Like it was intended.
So in the first example we'd have to build it from scratch (pros/cons) and in the second example, we'd have to deal with a fully functioning national party (pros/cons).
They essentially cancelled the last few primaries. Bernie was gonna win and they cancelled it. Biden wanted to run so they cancelled it. Biden backed out last minute so they cancelled it for Kamala. Shit is so undemocratic it’s crazy.
Bernie was gonna win and they cancelled it? Okay, Imma need to see some articles on that.
Basically unless you're talking about Texas or California or heck even PA and Bernie is polling at ~90% and the DNC says "actually we're cancelling due to rain" I'm going to find there's no reason to assume Bernie was going to win and they cancelled primaries to prevent him.
That's just - Fox News type of narrative. It's lacking all context and the context it does have is childishly simple and outrageous.
Check out @WorkingFamilies@mastodon.social they might already be active in your area. Depending on the race, they sometimes recommend voting for the Democrat, as the "least bad" option, but they also run their own candidates.
How about the PEOPLES party?
