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, 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.

That's ok. You're entitled to defend the dumbfucks that didn't vote or voted 3rd party. Even morons need someone in their corner.
The moron factor cannot be stressed enough. Or ignorant rube factor, or internet troll voter factor, or however anyone that either voted for him or protest non-voted wants to identify. Voting against fascism to save some semblance of what we already lie to ourselves about being an American Dream was so fucking easy. When someone says they'll do fascist things, after having tried a coup once already and gotten away with it, and they subsequently get voted back into office despite everything beforehand, I start to lose words to describe my frustration. Things won't get better by voting worse actors into decision making positions.
Yeah.
I mean, I don't fantasize that my pointing out that a 3rd party candidate for president cannot win and why is going to change the mind of anyone stupid enough to vote 3rd party in a presidential election.
Part of why I do it is because I'm really fucking mad at their concentrated stupidity and want to talk some shit to idiots who were partially responsible for the situation we find ourselves in. The other part is to hopefully get through to some people that aren't that stupid, so they can see how stupid these people are and hopefully avoid also being that stupid. Ideally I'd be calling them stupid then including the reasons why, which I do all the time. But sometimes I'm just tired and only have the energy to point out that they are very, very stupid idiots.
This was probably the easiest election we'll ever have and Americans essentially failed an open book test. I do not care that Kamala was maybe not a stellar candidate. Any candidate opposing Donald Fucking Trump and his enablers in the year of our lord 2024 is a stellar candidate by comparison. And this is one of those times when I'm too tired to type out why voting 3rd party for president is akin to punching yourself in the face. If anyone cares they can check my comment history. I explain it to idiots all the time.
