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.

Are you telling me thst a vice president which one of it's function is to be advisor to the president shouldn't have part of the responsability?
Not unless you know what she's advised him of, no. Or are you under the impression that he has to do what people who advise him say?
If the government support a genocidal terrorist state then anybody in the government has the responsibility to resign
Okay, well that's not going to happen. So the choice is going to be Trump or Harris and to suggest that we can't know where Trump stands on Israel compared to Harris is either dishonest or highly ignorant.
The fact is that both of them are on the wrong side of this genocide, so they have to be chosen by other criteria. "Just don't vote for either of them" is not an answer. That's also not going to happen for most voters.
Actions don't reflect what biden and his administration says they just more hypocritical about palestine. I don't believe in the two lesser of evil when it comes to palestine. Major changes don't happen overnight, and things don't change when people say it's futile and will never happen. With a similar mentality of we shouldn't vote for a third option, countries like india wouldn't get rid of british after 200 years and 100 millions dead indian
How about when it comes to literally every other thing in this election? Like persecution of queer people or deportation of migrants or just whether or not someone is going to be a dictator?
Literally none of that matters? Fuck it? Let the queer people and Latinos get marched into camps because there's no difference between them on Israel?
I specifically talked about gaza, you guys always like to deviate
And I'm specifically saying their positions on Gaza are not really relevant to the election since they're both on Israel's side. You don't seem to agree, so explain to me which one has the position I should favor on the matter.
The party with people best interest which i think it's neither democrats or republicans and again the thread was about gaza so i don't understand how it's relevent to the topic and i don't understand why most try to just deviate from harris critisism.
The thread was about Gaza in relation to the election. See the "Kamala Harris" part.
And the fact is that the winner in November will either be a Democrat or a Republican. Voting for anyone else is absolutely useless. You might as well not vote.
I plan to vote, and not for the guy who has a good chance of putting my queer daughter in a concentration camp.
That's not one of the functions of the vice president actually.
