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.

So...Trump is what you really wanted?

I hate Kamala for her seemingly immeasurable platitudinous corporate banality and her lack of anything insightful to say about economics or geopolitics, but I'm not "glad" she lost to Donnie Drumpf.

130 Democrats just voted against impeaching Trump.

[–] RustyShackleford@programming.dev 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Yes, I'm aware. I don't know how that's relevant to the argument that Kamala, despite being a terrible candidate, would have been better for civilization as president than Drumpf.

this is kinda silly and completely irrelevant, but it's kinda awesome seeing you pop up here of all places.

also, 100% nail on the head

Short term Trump is way worse.

Long term there is a small chance this will make the Democrats less of a facist-lite party.

And how many are going to conspire against Mamdani after he beat Cuomo in the NYC mayor primary?

DNC and democrat leadership is so out of touch they need to keep getting bitch slapped because of their shitty candidates.

I’m glad Kamala lost because she was a shitty candidate. It’s not black and white as the pinhead reductionists make it out to be.

[–] RustyShackleford@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

She was a shitty candidate. Drumpf is shittier. I'm not "glad" she lost.

[–] kassiopaea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

While I'm not going to say I'm "glad" she lost, which would thereby mean that I'm glad that there's so much more fear and suffering in the country, I think there's some merit to the idea that electing Kamala would have just resulted in more of the status quo that people were clearly becoming disenchanted with and, perhaps, in the long run, Trump being elected sooner is going to ultimately result in less harm as people are incentivized to push back sooner and harder because they're less worn down than they otherwise would be.

Really, idk though, I don't have a window into the alternate universe where that happened. This is all just kinda shit. @DancingBear really should be making that point if that's what they believe instead of being rude about it.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 1 points 8 months ago

Can I not be happy someone lost? I’m not happy Trump won… but I’m definitely happy Kamala lost…

It’s not my fault that the Dems offered such a shitty candidate…
