Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's been over a year since Israeli government officials announced that they were going to starve Gaza. They hold up aid for no reason. They massacred people collecting flour. They destroyed aid convoys they knew about and coordinated with. They have been doing exactly what they said they would and all America has done is make them pinky swear it would get better.
They will do nothing about this. Not because they will believe the lies Israel tells, but because they fundamentally do not care.
And Blinken will find some excuse to keep pushing arms despite them crossing the line
Good news though, your preferred candidate won, so Israel will act with impunity through even more egregious war crimes and thanks to all the third party voters and non-voters nothing will be done but accelerate them.
What do you mean “their preferred candidate”. Is everyone opposed to genocide a Trump supporter now? You’ve completely lost the plot.
In every analysis Harris’s loss was due to being an out of touch corporate Democrat and not appealing to the working class.
Also Rashida Tlaib was opposed to the genocide and won seats. If you had pushed Harris to break from Biden and oppose the genocide in any way shape or form she would have only gained voters. Morality aside that was a bad strategy.
Regardless, Palestine was not the deciding factor in the Libs getting demolished, it was their own hubris and inability to take a Sander’s style hard swing to the left and fight for working people.
the Libs getting demolished
Yeah that's such a lib thing to say.
Here's your trump order. Good luck.
I know it’s hard to imagine but there are people further to the left of rich corporate Democrat libs. They fucked up and they need to learn from their mistakes and finally put economically left Democrats like Bernie Sanders and AOC into power just like many have been yelling and screaming at them to do for years if they want any chance if that’s even possible at this point.
They can’t just follow Republicans further to the right, doing nothing for working people, following Trump on border policies, policing policies, giving money to their rich friends, do a genocide, then sprinkle on some vague culture war bullshit then call it a day and expect to win.
Or you can just call anyone who calls you out a Trumpist, change nothing, and keep losing.
I know it’s hard to imagine but there are people further to the left of rich corporate Democrat libs.
I seriously don’t know anyone who uses “libs” in any sense other than to imitate trolls and right-wing nutjobs.
They fucked up and they need to learn from their mistakes
Very genocide Joe of you. Zero help, all bitching. It’s genuinely shocking this . . . what politics are you supposedly representing again? . . . Anyway, it’s surprising that it hasn’t skyrocketed in popularity. Must be those rich Democrat libs and their (((media))) stranglehold, am i right? Lotsa (((globalists))) in there, aren’t there. Yeah. You know what i’m talkin about. You get it. They need to learn, y’know. Them.
Or you can just call anyone who calls you out a Trumpist, change nothing, and keep losing.
Calls me out for what. Voting for Harris? Yeah you got a built-in posse for that now too, don’t ya. You get to rub ethos with your favorite Ohio sheriffs. Speaking of changing nothing, you can claim ignorance, or moral superiority, or intellectual purity, or whatever purity you claim to wield, but the fact is your (in)actions have bought you and the rest of us four years of drowning in shit and since you’re not willing to see that, we’ll probably do it again in four years.
You wanna get Bernie or AOC on the ticket? I’d love to see it. But we both know if it happens you’ll have nothing to do with it. What happens when they compromise with some entity that’s not as pure and authentic as you? When they accept corporate money? Horrors! You’ll be forced to shit on them too, and find new symbols for your paper-thin, skewed, losing takes on national politics.
