A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Luckily the DNC doesn't put forth candidates. The candidates run and are chosen by voters. Sure, they can interfere with the process, but they can't directly decide it. If the people make themselves heard, it doesn't matter what the party wants.

Do I think this will actually happen? It's not likely, but it is possible for the people to overrule the party.
