Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

so dems have a message for europe. where is the message for us citizens? whoโs the priority - citizens or businesses worried about their wallets as europe turns away from us businesses (TECH)? iโm curious how they think they will repair our country and democracy.
I would say that the priority is to convince the entities (EU) that buy the US debit to not sell it. If EU (and the other buyers) start to dump US debt, US will have a way bigger problem than Trump.
the DNC is making that message, so i suspect its to prevent many of thier seats getting primaried in 26 and 28, they want EU ceos/corporations, banks likely funding the gop/turmp to put pressure on them somehow?
There's a widespread view in Europe, which I happen to share, that the US is lost - for a considerable time. It's unlikely to be a dependable ally for at least a generation.
This is going to hurt Europe, but in the longer term US isolationism will hurt the US more than it will hurt the rest of the world. It makes a lot of sense for the opposition party in the US to be trying to prepare the ground for a repair of those relationships if and when they gett into power.
Good luck to them, but I think it's going to be too late.
I don't think the dems will try to fix anything if they get into power. They will try to appear more moderate but I don't think they will really back out of the most changes. They're paid off by the same masters.
they are there to pretend to fix things, but in fact they do the bare minimum that usually has little to no affect on the population, they do just enough to stave of a full revolt against thier own party and then they wait for the gop to fuck things up so the DNC becomes electable again. its a CODEPENDANT party of each other.
