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.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

I don't have to fall for your sealioning shit because everyone who's not a fucking troll already knows how bad it is lol
I'm just jumping in to call out your "oh we would never do such a horrible thing as not vote" bullshit. Fuck you, own it at least.
You don't know what sealionong is. 1. It has to be repetitive or be multiple requests 2. It has to be in spite of requests that were previously fulfilled. It's been one request. You said I misrepresented you. So quote where I did. It would literally be you scrolling up and copy/pasting it. It's one simple request. Hell, my comments have been far longer than yours. If anyone's a troll here, it's you. You've yet to make a substantial point.
And I might as well address your other comment in this one too.
The analogy was never about Democrats; it was about being able to criticize anyone while still accepting that they did a good thing overall. You're the dumb one that tried to jump all over the place.
You mean the thing that you brought up? Absolutely nobody said anything about not voting. If this is a troll, at least do something that isn't this blatantly dumb. C'mon, at least make a comment that'll demand more than a quick 2-minute response from me. I clearly have the free time. I miss the days when trolls were at left somewhat intelligent. It's also an apt analogy for the situation it was actually getting used for. The other commenter was able to interact with it perfectly.
But you know what, I said I was done before and now I'm gonna stand by it unless you can actually back up the stupid claims you're making. Quote where I misrepresented you or I guess we really are done.
EDIT: Holy hell! I only now noticed that I'm responding to two different users tag teaming in and out. No way in hell someone's that dumb to not just point out that it's someone else. Dude really said sealioning.
Sure, it's possible, but no one on lemmy is actually doing that and there's no way anyone is blind enough to not know that.
Behind every "criticism" of Democrats is a fucking Republican. This close to an election? On Lemmy? It's propaganda. Fuck that. Democrats did a good thing. Stop there.
I literally did.
Nah. You can't give me a good reason to do so because there isn't.
I repeat
