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.

Never forget what we missed out on.

Bonus in that he has proven to be one that can actually listen to people. Real people, not just the ones that can do something for him.

Walz has a chance to stand out from the rank and file Democrats, I hope he capitalizes on it.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And Bernie out there now holding these, while Waltz says he may, or he could.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz called the fatal shooting "horrifying news and a terrible loss for the business and health care community" in the state that headquarters the company.

"Minnesota is sending our prayers to Brian's family and the UnitedHealthcare team," Walz added.

thats the part that made people cringe, not even his seperated wife came out to support his passing. shes probably ok she wont have to fight thomspon in court over a messy divorce battle.

Ouch.

We really need to focus on up vs. down, not left vs. right.

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don't disagree but personally, I don't want Walz in a position of leadership of anything besides MN

EDIT: I just want to say that I think the old man is truly naive. No maliciousness

[–] commander@lemmings.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who would you rather have instead?

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bernie always with a backup of Ocasio-Cortez. I know the weaknesses but the ideas are strong

[–] commander@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's fair.

I wish Bernie could win, but he's really just too old now for the position. It's a shame democrats showed their priorities in their primaries; they'd rather have trump over someone that actually tries to reduce the disparity in wealth.

yeah, pretty exactly

Dodging town halls screams fear of accountability—Walz is seizing the opportunity brilliantly.

This is what my parents are doing in their red district in WI. Right now they're organizing to call for the town hall, and then Tom Tiffany presumably chickens out and looks bad. He's a Trumper
