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.

[Sorry folks. When I submitted the article I had both the URL and added an image file as thumbnail for the article. Somehow the image file replaced the article. Here's the article. Adding a link in here too].

Dude, shut the fuck up. Obviously people know that a 3rd party president will never make it to office; and that's not the fucking point. Its about voicing your opinion; and to blame trump winning on the people who voted third party when it was clearly because the Democratic party fumbled and put forth a candidate that was not elected is incredibly disingenuous. This "your either with us or against us" bullshit is part of why the Democrats lost 2024

Obviously people know that a 3rd party president will never make it to office; and that’s not the fucking point.

Then what's the point, dumbfuck?

What's the point of voting for someone that can't win, and therefore, can't accomplish anything?

and to blame trump winning on the people who voted third party

Why wouldn't I? Voting 3rd party for president is STUPID AS FUCK, and all it accomplished was putting Trump, an anti-democratic felon rapist, closer to the Oval Office. Any dipshit gambling with our future to vote 3rd party in a presidential race deserves to be called what they are. A dumbfuck.

Well you see, the point is to voice that you do not wish to support either party. There is no "gambling" here, because there is no shot in hell I'm going to vote between a Nazi and an unelected figurehead for a political party that promises they care about me or my people when in reality they just pretend they do just to get us to vote for them.

Positively fucking crazy how I'm evil for not voting for (effectively) the same administration that allowed Texas to put razor wire in a river that is firmly Mexican territory. Positively fucking crazy that I didn't want to vote for that, my fucking bad.

I'm sorry for not disregarding my morals so you can feel better about yourself for helping to elect some shitstain who will preach acceptance and tolerance while removing Palestine from the map; I'm sorry for not wanting to vote for someone who will do fucking nothing to change the broken system that got us here in the first place.

The point of voting third party is to voice your discontent with the system. I'm sorry if me refusing to say "yeah I don't like Nazis" loud enough by voting for someone I don't agree with hurts YOUR chances of looking good by "helping get the good guy into office" you virtue signalling prick

Go fuck yourself.
