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.

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.

Shut the fuck up, literally what the fuck is wrong with you?
Let's not blame the insane people in power, no it's the Lemmy people who had valid criticisms of Harris who clearly swung the whole vote in trumps favor. Actual insanity.
And instead of pointing to how the democrats have continued to do essentially jack shit as a party under Trump, you continue to shit on the people who are pointing out the shit they could be doing but aren't.
At this point it's almost like you were one of Hillary CTR shills
Goodness gracious me, why would I complain on Lemmy about the behavior and opinions of people on Lemmy?
It's truly a mystery.
Do you actually believe Lemmy users on ML swayed the election, or is it more likely the democratic party did it to themselves?
I believe that the ultrapurist attitude that many Lemmy users follow was a non-zero factor in the loss in 2024, such as the some 2 million 2020 Biden voters who refrained from voting for Harris solely on the strength of the Palestine issue; and that the Dem Party's fecklessness and incompetence was, likewise, a very non-zero factor.
Lemmy users ourselves, as with any small community, are not really a factor in anything but in determining which discussions are useful to have here.
Palestine for Kamala was a lose-lose topic. There is no way she could state a plan or position on Palestine without penalty. Those who could see that were the same who thought, "of the two, which has a better chance on that one case of America meddling" and picked based on trends.
Those who couldn't get that voted for Trump.
So you've decided shitting on people who voiced valid opposition is the best course of action instead of pointing to ways to materially improve anything.
That sure seems useful in a small community and not just driving division.
Ah yes, the 'valid opposition' of critical support for literal fascists winning, under the excuse that "both sides are the same anyway".
Very valid, as this event (one of many, I might add) shows. Marginalized groups which depend on the government not being fascists thank you and your kind for your principled stand against our lives. It's truly a privilege.
Have fun arguing with whatever made up concept of a person you have in your mind.
