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.

First, I'm not aware of "Harris will be worse than Trump" being a popular position anywhere on Lemmy. Second, nothing about this circlejerk is bitter, but even if it was: "I told you so" is fine for the first few times—I don't agree with that characterization, but that's just politics—but when we're more than five months into this shit and people's suffering is still being used to smugly make the exact same point, we've already passed the point where anything about this is productive. The election is over and at this rate American democracy is going to be dead by the next election.
Again, there is no meaning being conveyed here. Nobody who wasn't convinced the first 100 times is going to be convinced the 101th—I am certainly not any more convinced now than when I opened this thread—so what you're left with is a circlejerk more about making oneself feel good than causing any positive change.
Because I don't like to circlejerk with the suffering of people.
-The guy I was responding to.
What a coincidence, because I think this is the consequences of your actions, but again that's not the point. We can argue whose fault Trump 2 was without the circlejerking.
Uh... you do realize that people who didn't vote were overwhelmingly moderates, right? The pro-Palestine left did turn out for Harris, and it did them exactly zero good.
